Severe flaw in WPA2 protocol leaves Wi-Fi traffic open to eavesdropping
Is there anything at all we can do to protect ourselves until our router gets patched?<p>From the earlier thread [1] I gleamed that maybe a MAC filter could help, but it sounds like that's not going to help much because MAC addresses can be easily spoofed.<p>The article here recommends sticking to sites with HTTPS, which isn't really something we always have control over, and isn't something we can realistically expect our non-technical WiFi users to be able to strictly adhere to.<p>VPNs were also suggested, but again, mandating that everybody on our WiFi must connect through a VPN is rather impractical, and I'm personally not sure which VPN providers are supposed to be trustworthy to begin with.<p>If people here have other suggestions, I'd love to hear them.<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15478750" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15478750</a>
