<title>VPN vs Internet Browsing</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26839432</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi All,
       I have a question regarding VPN. In our office we connect to the Internet through a wireless access point which is configured to an ISP's router. 

This ISP router is then configured with a VPN switch, with the help of which we access few server applications hosted in our head office in another city. 

We are not doing any direct VPN configurations in our office PCs to connect to these remote head office application servers.

We just configure wifi connection (access point key) in our PC and everything starts to work.

Now my question is when we open any webpage lets say 'www.cnn.com' in our office PC, is there any way our head office would know that this particular page was opened by one of their regional office PCs in any other city? 

We don't have any 'eaves dropping' software installed on our PCs here. But I am not sure how this VPN configuration works. 

Is it possible that it could be sending information to the head office VPN server about our web browsing information?

I am not sure about the company policy but I do open few non work related websites e.g. gmail, facebook etc during my working hours (total of 30-40min per day). So I want to be sure that I don't get caught for anythign wrong.

Any information in this regard shall be highlly appreciated.

Cheers john.           ]]></description>

<title>What are you doing regarding the Reaver Hack</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26730596</link>
<description><![CDATA[So, I'm curious as to what people are doing regarding the Reaver Hack since turning off WPS isn't preventing the hack:
http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/01/hands-on-hacking-wifi-protected-setup-with-reaver.ars

I'm considering going fully wired until a response from Cisco (if there is one that is). I'm running a Cisco E1500 and I don't believe there is a third party firmware without WPS available for it.]]></description>

<title>WPA2 password advice - for my mom</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26494429</link>
<description><![CDATA[
Next weekend I'm going to setup WiFi at my mothers house.  I'm going to upgrade to a higher end router and giver her my old router and use WPA2 Personal.

Myself, I've always used a randomly generated 63 ascii character password (which the only negative is typing that sucker into a cell or something where you can stick it on a text pad and paste it in).

My mother has a lot of family and close friend visitors with a few that occasionally stay the night.   They are going to be using the WiFi.  

So, I'm trying to figure out exactly what to do for a password.  I'm not around to watch her network, so I want something secure, but I also need something that's easy for 'guests' to type in.

Any thoughts?  Like maybe some kind of sentence or phrase that's easy to type?   Thanks!]]></description>

<title>No Wifi Encryption, any software to do the job?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26679726</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi

When I use Wifi at my school, they haven't implemented any sort of encryption for some reason. No WEP, no WPA, nothing...just simple access with no password.

Obviously this a no-no, but since I can't force them to change, is there any software that I can install on my computer that would encrypt all data so the incoming/outgoing network transmission is safe from hackers scanning the wifi?

Would appreciate any advise on this, thank you.]]></description>
