Wi-Fi best practices
Ramsey County public WiFi is like other public Wi-Fi connections available at coffee shops, restaurants, and airports. To access the public Wi-Fi, users must accept Ramsey County Wireless Terms and Conditions.
Like most public networks, the public network is unencrypted, meaning anyone can potentially intercept data once connected to the internet. Below are best practices recommended whenever using public Wi-Fi:
- Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your data while connected to public Wi-Fi.
- Don't access sensitive information while on public WiFi. On unsecured public Wi-Fi networks, attackers can capture data easily, potentially giving them access to sensitive information like user names, passwords, credit card numbers, or personal emails.
- Stick to websites that start with “HTTPS”, which indicates they have an SSL Certificate.
