Privacy warning

I have a privacy warning on when I connect to my home Wi-Fi. Even though I have a VPN and private connection toggled on. How do I know if I’m being monitored?

That warning indicates that your router has not been updated to the latest and greatest security setting. Your router's manual should contain instructions for changing this setting. If you have no manual, you can Google your router's make and model to find instructions. In some cases the router is included with your internet provider's device. In this case you will need to contact them. Your router may be too old to be updated. It should be replaced with a newer model. This link contains Apple's recommendations....
