I hope that this has answered some questions about how VPNs work and helped you make a decision about when you do and don't need to use WiFi Security and the pros and cons of a VPN connection.Hotspot Shield VPN Elite+ Servers and Locations I know several of our customers have the product connected all the time from discussions in the Community and that is what works for them.
Personally I only use Webroot WiFi Security at home when I know I need extra privacy or security for the sites I am visiting at the time. When you leave the home network with any of your devices you would then need to use a VPN client on the individual device, either Webroot WiFi Security or that provided by the same provider you used with your router connection. Webroot WiFi Security does not at this point in time. This would usually involve purchasing a third party router in place of the one provided by your Internet Service Provider and a subscription to a VPN provider who support this mode of operation. There would be no change to traffic within your home network. In this scenario all of the devices on your network would still be able to see each other, and all traffic from each of them to and from the internet would be within the encrypted tunnel. There are some third party routers that you could purchase from companies like Billion and Netgear where the router itself is connected to a VPN, which means that all connections to the internet from any device connected to the network are protected - giving you the same benefits of privacy and anonymity for all of your internet traffic. If computers were able to communicate directly whilst connected to Webroot WiFi Security then this might leave them vulnerable when connected to public networks. This is intrinsic to how the product works. There is absolutely nothing stopping you using WiFi Security at home instead of only when you are roaming (we offer unlimited usage) but because your devices are connected to the VPN endpoint they will not be able to connect to each other whilst connected. The VPN connection itself requires your home connection of course, and your ISP (or that of the hotspot) will be able to tell that you are connected to one and roughly how much data you are sending and receiving - but not where this is being sent from and to. Websites will see the IP address of the VPN endpoint rather than your home IP address and your ISP won't have knowledge of the websites you are visiting. Usage of VPN means that your internet connection on each of your VPN connected devices will independently be routing to websites through the VPN endpoint instead of directly using your home connection - you will see this if you connect to a country other than your own and use a service like What Is My IP. It also prevents that hotspot or the internet service provider from logging the websites you are visiting so VPNs are often used by privacy minded individuals, both at home and when using public networks. WiFi Security sends your traffic out through a protected encrypted tunnel so that a malicious hotspot or attacker cannot redirect, modify pages or intercept data. This could either be done by the party who control the hotspot or simply by an attacker who is connected to the hotspot at the same time. Whilst you are connected to a public hotspot you can be potentially be misdirected to fake sites (such as ones designed to impersonate your bank), malware could potentially you injected into the pages you browse and traffic that isn't to HTTPS services and websites can be intercepted. In order for a hotspot to be untrusted it simply needs to have one or more untrusted parties connected to it - in essence all of the people on their smartphones and laptops as you sip your latte. Note untrusted hotspots do not necessarily have to have been set up by an untrusted party (it isn't a matter of whether you trust the coffee shop or not) but can simply be open hotspots without individual per-device encryption - which is true of most public hotspots. Webroot WiFi Security is designed primarily for when roaming on untrusted hotspots such as those in airports, coffee shops, hospitals, shopping centres etc.
