When joining any Wi-Fi network, Kaspersky VPN checks the status of the Wi-Fi network in accordance with data from Kaspersky Security Network and other criteria such as whether a vulnerable encryption protocol or a common network name (SSID) are used. Using this information, Kaspersky VPN determines whether or not the Wi-Fi network is secure.
If you have already connected to an unsecured Wi-Fi network, you can protect your connection using Kaspersky VPN.
