That is correct. But remember that this pos...@Bob,<br /><br />That is correct. But remember that this post is directed to Android users connecting to open Wi-Fi to access emails and social sites. The additional security that you have mentioned is out of scope.<br /><br />Plus, ssl by itself on an open Wi-Fi is not fail proof. Someone can easily fake the access point and direct you to a fake site without ssl. Average users would not know what hit them.

You need to have end-to-end encryption to ensure that your traffic is secure from your device to the destination, ie. SSL or https<br /><br />But proxies and VPNs <b>will</b> obscure your destination from your ISP or WiFi access point, and can circumvent blocked sites or unsupported protocols (like ssh or IRC).<br /><br />--Bob.Bob Jonkmanhttp://bob.jonkman.ca/blogsnoreply@blogger.com
