Released today in the App Store, Onavo Protect promises to protect you while browsing the web
on your iPhone. The app allows you to set up an always-on VPN connection,
adding an extra layer of security to your browsing experience when you’re on
public Wi-Fi networks. Unsecured wireless networks open up the possibility of
your personal data being intercepted, and Onavo Protect is intended to keep you
safe from those with malicious intent. Additionally, the app warns users when
the site they are using is attempting to send a password in an insecure manner,
and automatically blocks known phishing sites.
According to Onavo,
the application, which is optimised for both the iPhone and iPad, includes the
following features:
•
Your data connection is secured with an extra layer of
encryption with a free always-on VPN
•
You can connect to any public WiFi hotspot without
worrying about being snooped
•
Phishing and malicious sites are blocked off without
having to change any of your browsing habits
•
Your personal information, like usernames, passwords,
credit card numbers and even social security numbers are protected from being
used insecurely
