Is your Wi-Fi router safe? | Router hacks explained

[@OliverGByrne]

My Router was hacked a week ago in the middle of the night a few days after my laptop was compromised by a pop up. I had turned off the WiFi on the laptop thinking it was going to be enough but they collected my router log in data. Luckily I noticed the activity on the router right as it as happening.They hacked it in the middle of the night betting on me being asleep but I was not. Router acted as if it was updating and when I checked wifi activities I saw an unknown device. I'm paranoid so I did not take a chance and now I'm using a new router and new laptop. I'm still getting over the anxiety this has caused me (Even on meds for it) . However been using your von regularly so at least that is something..

I didn't learn anything new in this video - but I guess not everyone is that into security. Only extras I would say/add to this - make sure your ePROM software on the router is up-to-date, and turn on all the security features your router has to offer.

Hi! It's sad to hear you didn't learn much this time, but we will try to cover more next time! Also, those are some great tips! -N.L.

@@Nordvpn Not a problem! I've been using computers for 50 years now (first was a Wang 2200, then in college an HP2000 Series III mini).

Hi NordVPN team, I am building an app and I want to add a feature that will help users to connect his home wi-fi remotely. Can your VPN help in this? And can you build this feature in our app. Thanks
