Public Wi-Fi networks may be under-protected, for example, if a Wi-Fi network uses a vulnerable encryption protocol. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the Kaspersky application checks the network. If the Wi-Fi network is insecure, the application prompts you to install or run Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection.
Note: Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection is available in Kaspersky Plus and Premium only.
Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection provides the following advantages:
Safe use of payment systems and booking sites. Intruders will not be able to intercept your bank card number when you make online payments, book hotel rooms, or rent cars.
