Encryption

sicherheit_im_netz.jpg In general the wireless LAN GoeMobile is unencrypted. You should take this into consideration if you wanted to use this network with your laptop or other electronical devices. There is also the possibility to encrypt the connection via VPN (virtual private network).

Is it necessary to encrypt the connection via VPN?

If you do not transmit sensitive information or care about other participants of the network who might notice what sites you surf on, you do not necessarily have to encrypt your Internet connection. There are some websites which are encrypted anyway, because they have their own security log. Just pay attention to the URL in your browser: if it starts with https a secure connection will be established. You might also see a little security lock at the bottom of your browser.
