This post explains how to setup a SOCKS proxy for an Android device without root. This gives you the same security you’d have if browsing from your couch at home. The home computer then completes the browsing request and forwards the results back through the encrypted tunnel to your mobile device.
The tunnel encrypts all of your web browsing data and sends it home first. To remedy this, you can create an encrypted SSH tunnel to a computer at home. All browsing data is broadcast to everyone on the public network who wants to see what you’re up to. While this may make multi-task shopping easier, it also exposes your activities to anyone else on the public network.
“WiFi” window stickers are all over the place, advertising a “bonus” reason to stop by your local coffee shop, bookstore or Home Depot. As the number of mobile Internet-connected devices continues to rise, so does the number of public-WiFi access points.
