Abstract

In the current millennium, human society has immensely improved its ability to obtain and distribute information. This change on the other hand, has caused the majority of daily routines to actively involve the usage of computers and mobile devices, which in turn has made people rely heavily on the availability of internet access. This fact was taken advantage of, causing a massive increase in public networks by people or businesses to draw in customers or just as simple public service. This increase gives both ease and risks which this paper will address, specifically on the security measures in network devices that are nearby, and the solution proposed to provide complementary insight on securing the technologies. The authors of this paper supply the main point of the research through experimental efforts i.e., by testing the solution in a real-life scenario. The solution itself involves the configuration of a Raspberry Pi into a VPN server and rerouting all traffic into the Raspberry server so that it will be encrypted and safe from the dangers that will be mentioned in later parts of this paper. The result of the experiment shows that the proposed solution can successfully encrypt the targeted packet so it can’t be read by malicious attackers. Although the solution works it can’t be simply applied to every public network due to internet connection protocols and its inconvenience. Future research will involve the improvement or rework of the solution until the issues mentioned above are solved.
