Protect Yourself from Nebbiness on Public Networks with Cloak

Cloak-VPN

In Pittsburgh we have a term we use to describe nosey neighbors, friends, in-laws, and even pets. They’re all “nebby” if they can’t keep their nose out of our business. Most of the time, nebbiness is relatively innocent, but when hackers get nebby, we need to do whatever it takes to protect our privacy.

Did you know that every time you use a public network – in a coffee shop, hotel, airport – you’re making your activities and personal information available to everyone else on that network? While most people don’t have the knowledge or interest in accessing this information, hackers do.

One of the simplest ways to protect your personal and business information while using a public network is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to create a secure connection. Cloak, an Apple-friendly VPN service, can provide the security you need to keep nebbiness at bay. It creates an encrypted connection between your device and Cloak's trusted servers in the cloud. By encrypting everything you do via apps or browser on your laptop, phone, or tablet, Cloak protects you from online eavesdropping, ad injection, tracking, and other malicious activities.

Pricing for Cloak starts at $2.99 per month to secure up to 5 GB of data. This plan is intended for the casual user. For $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually, you can get unlimited data security. If you’re not sure you want to commit to a monthly or annual plan, Cloak also offers passes available in various increments of time. And if you just want to try it out, they’ve got you covered. They’ll let you try it free for 30 days without requiring any credit card payment information.

You don’t have to risk becoming a victim of nebbiness when you use a public network. To learn more about how Cloak or to try their service visit http://getcloak.com. To get help with mobile data security for your business, contact us at 888-813-5558 or support@cranstonit.com.
