Using Pomegle
On Public Wi-Fi

Safety considerations for video chat on public networks.

Encryption Protection

Pomegle uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS), which means your video chat data is encrypted as it travels over the network. This provides protection against basic interception on public Wi-Fi.

However, public Wi-Fi networks still have inherent security risks that encryption alone doesn't fully address.

Public Wi-Fi Risks

Common risks on public Wi-Fi include:

  • Man-in-the-middle attacks
  • Fake Wi-Fi networks (honeypots)
  • Network monitoring by operators
  • Potential IP address tracking

Safety Tips

To use Pomegle more safely on public Wi-Fi:

  • Use trusted networks when possible
  • Consider using a VPN for additional privacy
  • Verify you're on the correct network (ask staff if unsure)
  • Avoid accessing sensitive information simultaneously
  • Use mobile data if you're concerned about security

Bottom Line

Pomegle's encrypted connections provide basic protection on public Wi-Fi, but public networks always carry some risk. For sensitive use or additional privacy, consider using a VPN or your mobile data connection.
