With CitizenVPN you are secure. You can relax, safe in the knowledge that your connection is encrypted.
It can be very simple for another user to see everything you are doing, read your passwords and hack your computer. A virus in another users computer could also be monitoring your connection.
While you can be somewhat safe by using a website with https instead of http, not all sites support it and to be safe you would have to check the websites' encryption certificate each time you use it. Most people do not know how to check this and it is an added worry that can easily be avoided by using CitizenVPN.
