Prevention is better than cure, its so true for securing your wireless Internet connection.预防胜于治疗,其所以如此,以确保您的无线互联网连接。 In this post I will tell you what all you must do to prevent misuse of the Wireless Internet connection by someone without your permission.在这个后我会告诉你,你什么都必须做,以防止滥用无线互联网连接有人未经您的许可。

Such unauthorized use of Internet connection can not only cause monerty damage, but can also be used for identity thefts and other cyber-crimes.这种擅自使用互联网连接,不仅可以导致monerty损失,但也可以用于身份盗窃和其他网络犯罪。 It can mean stealing your Internet Banking passwords, credit card details etc.它可以意味着窃取您的网上银行密码,信用卡详细资料等

I am going to list down the 5 most important things you should do after you set up wireless connection:我要名单下跌5个最重要的事情你应该做之后,成立了无线连接:

1. 1 。 Make Connection Secure:使连接安全:

Securing the wireless Internet connection means to use some encryption on data and use of password authentication to access the Wireless Internet.确保无线上网手段,使用一些加密的数据和使用的密码验证进入无线互联网服务。 Go to Security options on your router control page and make the connection secure.转到安全选项在您的路由器控制页面 ,使连接的安全。 This interface may vary from brand to brand, but the concept is more or less the same.这个界面可能会有所不同,从品牌,以品牌,但更多的概念是大致相同的。 For example in my Netgear router, the option look something like this:例如,在我国美国网件路由器,选择看起来就像这样:

wireless-security-options

We recommend WPA or WPA2, along with a strong Pass-phrase or password.我们建议的WPA或WPA2的,加上强有力的通行证短语或密码。 A good password will be one which has a mix of upper-case,lowercase and special characters.一个良好的密码将是一个具有混合大写,小写和特殊字符。 After you make these changes on your router, you have to make corresponding changes on your Laptop or Desktops which access this router, to use same encryption settings and same password.当您这些变化对您的路由器,你就必须做出相应的变化对您的笔记本电脑或台式机的使用此路由器,使用相同的加密设置和相同的密码。

For example, on myWwindows Vista laptop, I go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks > right click on name of network > Properties , it will look something like this:例如,在myWwindows Vista的笔记本电脑,我去控制面板“ >网络和共享中心”管理无线网络“右击网络名称”属性 ,它将看起来就像这样:

manage-wireless-properties

windows-wireless-security-settings

This will restrict your wireless Internet connection from being used without password authentication.这将限制您的无线互联网连接正在使用的密码验证。

2. 2 。 Disable SSID Broadcast禁用SSID的广播

Disabling SSID broadcast is like making the router silent, it will not tell anyone that the router is around, unless someone tries to call its name( or IP address).禁用SSID的广播就像是使路由器保持沉默,它不会告诉任何人路由器大约是,除非有人试图要求其名称(或IP地址) 。 To disable SSID, go to the control page of your router, look for SSID broadcast option and simply disable it, see the example below for the Netgear router, on this control page, I have to un-check the “Enable SSID Broadcast” option:要禁用SSID的,转到控制网页中的路由器,寻找SSID的广播选项,只需禁用它,见下面的例子为美国网件路由器,在这个控制页面,我不得不取消选中“启用SSID的广播”选项:

disable-ssid-broadcast

3. 3 。 Enable Firewall On Router If Available启用防火墙,路由器如果可用

Some routers have in-built firewall option, if that is available, turn it on, it will help secure your computers from being hacked even if someone gets to access your network without your permission.有些路由器内置的防火墙选项,如果可用,打开它,这将有助于确保您的计算机被黑客入侵,即使有人会访问您的网络未经您的许可。

4. 4 。 Change Administrator Password更改管理员密码

It is very important to change the administrator password of your router, because certain brands of routers have certain default username password sets that hackers know very well, so if they get till your network, and you still have the default passwords set, they can steal your important data.这是非常重要的是改变管理员密码的路由器,因为某些品牌的路由器有一定的默认用户名密码集,黑客非常清楚地知道,如果让他们到您的网络,你仍然有预设的密码设置,他们可以窃取您的重要数据。 For this, look for some set password/change password option on your router control page, for example, on Netgear, its something like this:对于这一点,寻找一些设定的密码/更改密码选项,您的路由器控制页面,例如,关于美国网件,其像这样:

set-password-on-wireless-router

5. 5 。 Turn-off Router When Not In Use关闭路由器在不使用时

Not only does it saves on your power bills, but also, will help keep it secure, for example in my case, I use Wireless Internet at home only for 5 hours a day, so I turn it on for that time, and keep it turned off for rest of the day when I am away for work. Not only does it saves on your power bills, but also, will help keep it secure, for example in my case, I use Wireless Internet at home only for 5 hours a day, so I turn it on for that time, and keep it关闭剩下的一天,我不在工作。

    If you want to figure out OpenVPN, you can also do OpenVPN to a wired Windows or Linux computer, and relay all your traffic through Openvpn (see: OpenVPN.net - freeware).如果你想找出OpenVPN ,您也可以做一个OpenVPN有线Windows或Linux操作系统的电脑,继电器所有的流量通过Openvpn (见: OpenVPN.net -免费) 。

    Another idea, secure all Wifi connections by assigning static IP addresses to the Wifi computers (consistent with the router’s addressing scheme), and then turn off DHCP server on the WiFi router.另一个想法,确保所有无线连接的分配静态IP地址的无线上网电脑(符合路由器的解决方案) ,然后关闭DHCP服务器的无线路由器。 If someone breaks your encryption, then he will have to be smart enough to figure out your IP addressing scheme with DNS as well.如果有人打破你的加密,那么他将必须足够聪明找出您的IP地址与DNS计划以及。 Otherwise, DHCP gives away the farm.否则,赠送的DHCP农场。

    Also, PLEASE do change the router’s default internal IP address.另外,请不要改变路由器的默认内部IP地址。 Everyone knows, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or whatever your router defaults to.大家都知道, 192.168.1.1或192.168.0.1或任何您的路由器默认。

    Also, check for your router’s firmware updates on the manufacturer’s website.此外,检查您的路由器的固件更新的制造商的网站。 The latest firmware has the latest security updates.最新的固件了最新的安全更新。 - Not for the faint of heart. -不为微弱的心。
