Hello Gdubbers,
There are several ways to secure privacy and hide access and information from other users on the same network for Apple products:
- Use a virtual private network (VPN): A VPN creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and a remote server, allowing you to browse the internet anonymously and protect your data from being accessed by others on the same network.
- Enable encryption: You can enable full-disk encryption on your Apple device to protect your data from being accessed by others. This is especially important if you use your device for storing sensitive information or if you frequently connect to public networks.
- Use a private browsing mode: Most web browsers, including Safari on Apple devices, have a private browsing mode that doesn't store your browsing history or search history. This can help protect your privacy while browsing the internet.
- Use a firewall: A firewall is a security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. You can use a firewall to block access to specific websites or prevent certain types of data from being transmitted over the network.
- Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring you to provide a second form of authentication, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password. Enabling 2FA can help protect your accounts from being accessed by others on the same network.
