📶VPN FOR PUBLIC WIFI

That café WiFi is
someone else's
hunting ground.

Open WiFi networks have zero encryption. Anyone on the same network — the person at the next table — can intercept your traffic with free tools. HorizonVPN auto-connects the moment you join any open network.

Attacks that happen every day on open WiFi

These aren't theoretical. Freely available tools make them trivial to execute.

Packet sniffingCRITICAL

Attacker captures all unencrypted data flowing through the network.

What attackers can steal:
✕Passwords on HTTP sites
✕Session cookies
✕Email content
✕API keys and tokens
Evil twin attackCRITICAL

Attacker creates a fake 'CafeWiFi' network — identical to the real one. You connect without knowing.

What attackers can steal:
✕Everything you send or receive
✕Login credentials
✕Financial data
✕Location data
Man-in-the-middleHIGH

Attacker intercepts traffic between you and websites, able to modify what you see.

What attackers can steal:
✕Form submissions
✕Online banking sessions
✕SSL-stripped HTTPS traffic
✕Authentication tokens
ARP spoofingHIGH

Attacker sends fake ARP messages so your traffic routes through their device.

What attackers can steal:
✕Network traffic
✕Internal service requests
✕Credentials
✕VoIP call content
🔒With HorizonVPN:all traffic is encrypted end-to-end. Packet sniffers see encrypted gibberish. Evil twin attacks capture nothing useful. Man-in-the-middle and ARP spoofing are neutralized.
AUTO-CONNECT

Auto-connect triggers the moment your device joins an open or untrusted network — before any app has a chance to make an unencrypted request. You never have to remember to turn the VPN on.

✓Triggers on open WiFi automatically — no prompt needed
✓Trusted networks (your home) can be whitelisted
✓Connects before background apps make network requests
✓Works even when your device wakes from sleep
