Know what a network can see before you use it
Every time a device joins a network, AVO checks how it is encrypted, whether anything is intercepting traffic, and whether the router is still on defaults. On an open network it can turn the VPN on without being asked.
How it works
1. Join a network
The check runs automatically, in a second or two, without interrupting what you were doing.
2. See what it is
Open, WEP, WPA2 or WPA3, plus whether anything looks like it is sitting between you and the internet.
3. Get covered
On an open network AVO can start the VPN by itself, so the check turns into protection rather than a warning.
Questions about this feature
Is public WiFi safe
Open networks let anyone nearby see which sites your device contacts. AVO checks the network when you join it and turns the VPN on for you when it is open.
What is a captive portal
The sign in page a hotel or cafe network shows first. AVO waits for it to finish before judging the network, so you do not get a false warning.
