What Can Your School WiFi Trace?

#Your Browsing History Online

Whenever you connect to Wi-Fi on campus, from any device, your school knows exactly which websites you are visiting, which game you are interested in, which comment you are posting or even which products you are purchasing. So basically all your online activities when connecting to school WiFi can be monitored by your school.

• Your Real-Time Location

Apart from the above mentioned online activities, your real-time location can be traced as well. Different WiFi has different IP address which clearly show the location of whom is connecting the WiFi. You school can tell the exact room the students are in through school WiFi. What’s more, this technology can be used to identify activity on an individual level, for example, to testify whether you are staying at your dorm if you call in sick, or to check the amount of time you’re not on campus and reflect that time in your final grades.

What may shock you more is that school WiFi is as risky as public WiFi as you’re connected to the same WiFi as thousands of other students do. Therefore, school WiFi networks are attractive targets for snoops and hackers because so many different students use them that they never run out of new targets. They can snoop in on the traffic and get all your social media accounts, credit card numbers, email passwords, etc.

Feeling afraid after reading the foregoing words? DO NOT WORRY! Here’s a simple and secure way to protect your privacy when connected to school WiFi networks, that is, to use a VPN!

How Can A VPN Protect You from Being Traced?

• Hide Your Location

When connected to school WiFi in different areas on campus, the IP address will be different. IP address, a.k.a. internet protocol address, is a unique number sequence assigned to each device that accesses the internet. The functions of IP addresses are to identify you location. A VPN will hide your IP address so your real location won’t be exposed to your school or hackers.

• Encrypt Your Data

As it is mentioned above, your school WiFi is a favorite for snoopers and hackers. Students spend most of time on campus, so entering the websites or social apps with your account number and password is inevitable. A VPN is able to encrypt the connection between your devices and the VPN server, making it really difficult for hackers to intercept your data or steal your information.

#Anonymous Browsing

Your frequent-visiting websites will show your recent status. For example, if you buy something online with school WiFi, and someone may know your credit card password. What’s more, it is possible for someone to pick up your package box after knowing your package information. A VPN will enable anonymity of your browsing websites. Therefore, the risks of browsing will be decreased.
