I hope everyone that hops on PFJ and Loves, and McDonalds/Starbucks/Hotel wifi is smart enough to use a quality VPN.
Playing with fire. Cheating, Conniving, Low-Down Scoundrels are everywhere.
It's cheap, and if you use wifi you need to encrypt. -
I won't type the name, but this program will attempt to send data packets into all the computers logged into the wifi, once they see an open port your computer has been compromised! These programs can find and steal passwords and logins. While it is true you can deploy programs like avast etc, the only real way to be safe is to totally disappear. Once you engage that VPN your computer uses "tunneling" software and from your computer to the VPN server the data is totally encrypted, so much so that even your ISP can't see what you are doing. There are some fine free VPNs out there. The bottom line, consider any computer not behind a VPN as vulnerable.
Right now I am using a cheap old computer and I have no passwords on it. Other than a few places like TTR. I hardly ever use a VPN on this computer. If I am doing online banking, or secure messaging the VA I use my main system in a VPN.Cabinover101 and jammer910Z Thank this. -

I've used this router in my truck for a few years. I can use it to share my tethered phone internet, or WiFi from a truck stop and have a secured lan for all my devices. Just ordered the updated version gl-ar750 as I've got more usages for it now. -
For tethering I root my phone and use VPN Hotspot as it's the only way to tether unlimited anymore. It links a VPN connection to the hotspot to hide data use. Used to be easier.

Don't ask me to do any of that stuff now, I don't remember much of it anymore. My brain blocked most of it out like a professional PTSD trying to function in offices and dealing with people and such.
I wrote a program in Python that probed routers for open doors and tried to do so without setting off flags that logged my activity. Internet packets, last I have learned, have like 4 different flags, and depending on which ones you activate with a "1" it may or may not be looked at as suspicious.
It produced mixed results and mostly I just jumped on the neighbors wifi and looked at his shared files, sniffed wireless activity with wireshark and a few other programs. But I didn't ever steal anything. I just liked feeling powerful because in person I was kind of a skinny weaker build kid.
I imagine it's a lot more difficult nowadays and if you asked me to do it I wouldn't get anywhere. -
Does anyone play online games such as Xbox live in the truck? I’m curious if it’s possible idk if a mobile hotspot would do it.

I rarely found the time to game to far most of the time. But when I drove out from the terminal it was kind of fun for me to listen to him play Siege in the back and listen to him die over and over, because he wasn't very good at that game. lol. He thought he was though, and I didn't tell him he really wasn't.
He thought getting 2 kills in one game meant he was good. Well I asked if he won the game? He said he lost. Well then those 2 marks don't mean anything if you didn't win. Those are team games and it's about helping your teammates and winning the game. Not just your own abilityD.Tibbitt and FloridaBoy93 Thank this.
