I wouldn't dream of using my wifi without protection Posted by AdamB [Email] (#3) [Profile/Gallery] (more from AdamB) on Mon, 6 Mar 2006 06:11:22 In Reply to: I suspect I have freeloaders piggybacking, 2saabs, Mon, 6 Mar 2006 04:49:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've got everything turned on - on my setup. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but recently there've been a lot of cases here where people have had their open wifi abused for criminal purposes like downloading child pornography or doing other stuff where they want to be anonymous.
So I use both the easy to bypass measures like MAC address filtering, disabled SSID broadcast and the harder stuff like WPA-PSK encryption. If your hardware doesn't support WPA use the weaker WEP encryption. Anything is better than nothing.
