Keeping your connection wireless, safe and secure.
The security of your connection is our highest priority. RedMoon uses techniques such as data scrambling, encryption, end user authentication, and we support virtual private networks. However, RedMoon cannot guarantee the privacy of your data and communications on a wireless network or on the Internet. Any Internet connection, including DSL and cable is inherently not secure.
Wireless networks transmissions can easily be intercepted without some sort of security in place. RedMoon Wireless Hot Zones are built to ensure that our customers can get access easily. We leave it up to our users to secure their connection by using security protocols and products that are available today. The information below will help make your Wi-Fi experience not only pleasant, but safe.
RedMoon strongly recommends users take measures to secure their devices and Internet communications. We recommend using websites that have SSL encryption for any personal data and that each user's computer has antivirus software and a personal firewall installed. RedMoon recommends the Trend Micro firewall that users can purchase and download at http://www.trendmicro.com/
Some of the security concerns you should be aware of:
Always make sure you are using an SSL secured page when entering personal information.
RedMoon Wireless login and registration uses SSL security to ensure your information is kept private. Most online stores, banks and other sites that require you to enter personal information will use SSL to secure the web page.
Use A Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Most business users will be required to use a VPN to connect to corporate resources. VPN security builds a secured "tunnel" between your computer and your corporate office.
Disable File Sharing On Your Computer
You should disable file sharing on your laptop or Wi-Fi device. This will restrict anyone from accessing critical files on your PC.
Use a Personal Firewall
Most of the new operating systems like XP and MAC OS have built-in firewalls that require nothing more than turning them on. We highly recommend you use these features to ensure that no one can gain access to your computer. You can also purchase 3rd party firewalls from Symantec, Trend Micro, and others.
Use Anti-Virus Software
Viruses have become a way of life for most users of the Internet. Most users by this time understand the need for Anti-Virus software. Verge Wireless monitors the network for abnormal large amounts of traffic. If you become infected with a virus, we may have to restrict you from gaining access to our network to ensure that no one else becomes infected. We recommend Trend Micro for virus software.
