We write a lot here about using mobile technology to view sports, order food at games and a host of other interesting things, at least to us. Most users by now know that streaming a game can kill your data plan so most savvy users do so over Wi-Fi.
So what if you are out? Then you head to Starbucks or some other place that has hopefully free, Wi-Fi available. But security risks abound, and it seems that you hear about a new one each day. Well an app caught my eye in the Hartford Courant and it might fit the bill.
It is called Cloak and it is designed for Apple’s iOS devices including the Mac and it encrypts and reroutes your traffic through a Virtual Personal Network (VPN) whenever you use a public Wi-Fi network. You sign up and the basic app is free, or for a heavier user there are plans that start at $8 a month. I plan to try it out and it got generally good reviews at the iTunes app store.
