Have you ever wondered how secure your Internet
connection is when using a public WiFi hotspot?
The answer is: It is not
secure at all!
Actually, it is not secure even
when you are using Internet at home. Your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) may be watching your Internet
activity (and in some cases they are required to).
Logs are being kept recording data about every
website you have visited. In addition, on some badly
structured networks, even normal lan users can
"sniff" each other's traffic. What is the result?
Your private information is exposed to anyone
interested. Your bank accounts, credit card numbers,
personal information, chats are not safe anymore.
How do they do it?
There are freeware programs that catch the packets
transferred in the network. See the following
examples of ways to steal your personal information:

Their method is :
In the case above, the owner of the WiFi router (or
the owner of the LAN network) can capture all your
traffic and monitor all your activities. In this
case your connection is not encrypted and he can
easily retrieve any personal information.
By using WiFi Guardian you are establishing an
encrypted connection to one of our secure servers.
As a consequence, the WiFi router or the LAN
administrator is between YOU and our SERVER. Your
traffic is now encrypted, then passes by the WiFi/LAN
administrator and goes to our Server, where it is
decrypted and directed to the Internet. The
connection is securely returned to you in the same
way:
We have to point out that, we don't store any
information about your surfing. We only keep logs of
when you are connected/disconnected as well as
traffic bandwidth for statistics and account
management purposes
