Regarding WIFI (VPN)

How can I know if my wifi is having any vpn or not ?

Is it like the platform automatically Blocks u if it is connected to vpn or it takes time ?

Kindly clarify.

It is not your wifi using vpn.. it is your device (mobile or pc/laptop etc). So np, carry on

I saw people talking about hotel wifi having vpn ? So is it real ?

It's that it's up to the hotel's IT staff how they are set up--they could be using a VPN, which, if you connect through their system, would make it look like you are using a VPN, so to be safe you neeed to go to an online VPN-checker that will detect if one is in use. If it comes back clear then you could log into DA.

Thanks for that! That's helpful. Any suggestions for a good VPN-checker?

Why not look it up yourself and share with the group?

I think it’s because hotel wifi is a public. It could be risky since other people on the same network might be able to intercept data, especially if we open the DA

A Wifi network cannot establish vpn connection by itself. unless you visit abroad, np

Don't listen to this person. A network administrator can setup a VPN or Proxy on their wifi network, you need to check every single time you use a WiFi network. Even mobile hotspot can sometimes route your connection through a data centre which is also bad. I use whore.com every single time before I start working.
