Private WiFi is a cloud-based VPN service that protects your privacy and saves you money on your cell phone bill. Private WiFi encrypts everything you do on the Web with bank-level security, so no one can steal your sensitive information.

With Private WiFi, you will benefit from…

Sophisticated Technology - Private WiFi offers a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that uses industry-standard 128-bit encryption, the same proven encryption technology trusted by financial institutions and government agencies. Intelligent Activation - Our VPN uses our patented “Intelligent Activation”, which means that it can tell when your device switches from WiFi to a cellular network. If the WiFi connection is unsecured, such as at coffee shops, hotels and public areas, Private WiFi automatically encrypts your data to protect your privacy.

Global Accessibility - Private WiFi works everywhere in any hotspot around the world.

Total Anonymity - Private WiFi automatically reroutes your data through an encrypted server in another location, which keeps you anonymous. Your actual location and IP address is never disclosed.

Simplicity - Private WiFi installs quickly, and takes seconds to connect you to a secure encryption server so you can browse the web securely from any public hotspot.

Non-Intrusive - It runs invisibly in the background while you browse the web or write an email.

Dedicated Support - Private WiFi is committed to extraordinary customer service. Real product support from a real person is always available via email.

After being hacked last year , it’s a great feeling knowing my data is protected

The app is easy to use and protects your privacy. Every AOL user should have it!

This app used to work well, but since having not been updated in 4 YEARS, it obviously hasn’t kept up with technology updates for the systems running it. Lately it has had a difficult time connecting with a server when on iPhone or iPad, and when/if ut does, it is randomly deactivated while running in the background without any notice. What good does that do? When running the version for computers, it never connects and just shows “error”. Please update this app!!!
