If you don't know what a VPN is, you most likely are not using one. With the recent news releases that some hackers have found a deficiency in WPA2, I found it reasonable to add a layer of protection. Anyone else?
phil-t said:WPA2 with AES encryption and using a "STRONG passphrase" is the best way. The only way WPA2 has been hacked is by brute force password guessing. A strong passphrase goes a very long ways in guarding against such an attack.
I'm not wireless network engineer but have 21 years as a wireless network admin in a university environment. Cracking a strong passphrase is next to impossible.
Most times folks just give away their passwords to spammers in emails and web pages. Home networks are not a big target. Big corporations that have a lot to loose are the targets.
