Do I Need VPN at Home
I use VPN Express on my iPhone 4S. For my home computers (two MacBook Pros), I was using the Hotspot Shield Elite VPN service, but I found that I had problems connecting to various web sites. If I deactivated Hotspot Shield, these problems went away. The frequency of these problems has been increasing. So I started looking for a new VPN service for home. But my basic question is: do I need a VPN service at home? My ISP is Cox Communications. I have a Cisco modem and a D-Link router. The two MacBook Pros connect to the internet through the D-Link router using its wireless network. Do I also need a VPN service at home with this setup?
I assume that if I take my computers out of the house and connect to the internet through a public Wi-Fi net work, I do need a VPN service.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.8 GHz
