For hotspot operators special safety with VPN routing

Furthermore HOTSPLOTS offers a protection mechanism for the case of misuse of your hotspot:

  • As hotspot operator you can activate VPN routing for your hotspot.
  • With VPN routing all users of your hotspot surf the internet with an IP address of HOTSPLOTS.
  • Hence your IP address is invisible to the internet.
  • In case of abuse of your hotspot HOTSPLOTS is the first contact.
    • All traces lead to HOTSPLOTS VPN servers.

A comprehensive overview of the protection mechanism with VPN routing ist given in our whitepaper, that is only available in german, so far:  Whitepaper zum Thema VPN-Routing (PDF, 320 kByte).

You find further questions and answers for hotspot operators in our support pages.

 

For hotspot users special safety with HOTSPLOTS VPN

Public WLAN hotspots work without encryption. Since the internet inself is an unsecure public network, critical data should be transfered only over encrypted connections like HTTPS. Thereby important data is also protected in the 'unsecure' wireless part of the connection.

With HOTSPLOTS VPN  you can go one step further and keep all data private – despite the unencrypted working WLAN. With HOTSPLOTS VPN the whole traffic between the client's device and HOTSPLOTS' VPN server is encrypted. So neither other WLAN clients nor the hotspot operator can sniff out your data.
