Encrypt your internet connec tion

Protect yourself when online by using a free VPN service

1. Install CyberGhost

CyberGhost’s free service is particularly suited to free, unencrypted Wi-Fi hotspots,

though it works elsewhere too. Go to cyberghostvpn.com/en_gb and click ‘Free Download’. Open the disk image and drag

the app to the Applications folder.

2. Sign up

Open CyberGhost and install the helper app when prompted. When the main window appears, click the power button to connect via the VPN – you’ll have to wait in a queue, but it only takes a few minutes before you’re

automatically connected.

3. Beef up security

You’ll be assigned a random location (click Automatic to change this to a specific

country) and once connected everything you do will be encrypted and sent securely. The connection will automatically close after

three hours – just reconnect to go again.
