Readily available internet access is the lifeblood for laptops, netbooks, tablets, and other portable devices. Whether your travels take you to the local coffee house or across the country, never be without free Wi-Fi again.
随时可用的Internet访问是笔记本电脑,上网本,平板电脑和其他便携式设备的命脉。 无论您是出差到当地的咖啡馆还是全国各地,都永远不会再没有免费的Wi-Fi。
Every year the sheer number of locations you can score free Wi-Fi increases, but that doesn’t mean that finding a connection is as easy as booting up your laptop. Read on as we outline tips, tricks, and apps to help you surf the web for free.
每年,您可以获得免费Wi-Fi评分的地点数量激增,但这并不意味着找到连接就像启动笔记本电脑一样容易。 在我们概述提示,技巧和应用程序时,请继续阅读,以帮助您免费上网。
适当的安全是必须的 (Proper Security Is a Must)
![headerimage headerimage](https://i-blog.csdnimg.cn/blog_migrate/f093807c04e0173a8614c835b0330148.png)
The Wi-Fi spectrum is pretty much the wild west of data usage. It is extremely easy for people with malicious intent to skim your data, intercept your wireless transmissions, and even outright set up honey-pot Wi-Fi nodes with the express purpose of collecting your private information.
Wi-Fi频谱几乎是数据使用的狂野西部。 对于怀有恶意的人来说,浏览数据,拦截您的无线传输,甚至直接建立蜜罐Wi-Fi节点以收集您的私人信息为明确目的,这非常容易。
While the super majority of free Wi-Fi nodes you’ll connect to are benign (offered legitimately by businesses, left open by home users, etc.) there’s always the risk that the node you’re connecting to is malicious. Since there is no way to effectively distinguish between nodes the best thing you can do is configure your connection to encrypt your entire session.
虽然您将连接的绝大多数免费Wi-Fi节点是良性的(由企业合法提供,由家庭用户开放等),但始终存在您所连接的节点是恶意的风险。 由于无法有效地区分节点,因此您最好的办法是将连接配置为对整个会话进行加密。
If you have a speedy broadband connection at home you might consider setting up an SSH server on your router. Alternatively you might want use a commercial encryption solution like Hotspot Shield. The goal in both instances is to create a secure tunnel for your data so that nothing (not the web sites you visit, the data you send to them, the data you download, your instant messages, your email, or any of your digital activity) is sent unencrypted.
如果您在家中有快速的宽带连接,则可以考虑在路由器上设置SSH服务器 。 另外,您可能想使用商业加密解决方案,例如Hotspot Shield。 两种情况下的目标都是为数据创建安全的隧道,以使所有内容(不是您访问的网站,发送给它们的数据,下载的数据,即时消息,电子邮件或任何数字活动) )未加密发送。
With a properly configured tunnel (whether to your home router or computer, to your server, or to a commercial SSH/VPN solution) there is no chance that your login credentials or personal information will be leaked no matter how compromised the Wi-Fi node might be.
使用正确配置的隧道(无论是连接到家庭路由器或计算机,服务器还是商业SSH / VPN解决方案),无论Wi-Fi节点受到多么严重的破坏,您的登录凭据或个人信息都不会泄漏可能。
We don’t want to sound alarmist but given how simple it is to set up a basic encrypted tunnel and what an enormous headache it is if your identity/credentials are compromised, there’s really no reason to not take the small steps necessary to secure your mobile browsing sessions.
我们不想让您感到震惊,但是鉴于设置基本加密隧道的过程非常简单,并且如果您的身份/凭据受到威胁,这将是一个巨大的麻烦,实际上没有理由不采取必要的小步骤来保护您的安全移动浏览会话。
让您的天线成为您的指南 (Let Your Antenna Be Your Guide)
![2011-12-06_113743 2011-12-06_113743](https://i-blog.csdnimg.cn/blog_migrate/8541810970f261842790b4d3f381b7a6.png)
If you haven’t planned ahead to be somewhere you know there is free Wi-Fi, the easiest way to find free Wi-Fi is to use your electronic devices to look for it. If you’re in a big enough location (such as a café on a busy city street or in a major airport) there’s virtually no chance that you’ll be outside the range of a free Wi-Fi node. This is where our first missive, proper security is must, comes into play. It’s nearly impossible to determine the security and origin of Wi-Fi nodes you don’t directly control. With a properly secured connection you can just poke away at the open nodes in your environment and pick the first one that lets you in. If your connection is not secured it’s best to stick to nodes that appear to be associated with legitimate organizations like the restaurant you’re sitting in.
如果您尚未计划要去某个地方,那么您会发现免费的Wi-Fi,找到免费Wi-Fi的最简单方法是使用电子设备进行查找。 如果您位于足够大的位置(例如,繁忙的城市街道上的咖啡馆或主要机场中),那么您几乎没有机会处于免费Wi-Fi节点的范围之外。 这是我们的第一个必须适当的安全性发挥作用的地方。 确定您不直接控制的Wi-Fi节点的安全性和来源几乎是不可能的。 使用正确保护的连接,您可以戳一下环境中的开放节点,然后选择第一个允许您进入的节点。如果您的连接未得到保护,则最好坚持使用与餐厅等合法组织相关联的节点你坐在那里。
Firing up your laptop just to check for Wi-Fi nodes is a waste of power. Rather than suck down all the energy it takes to power the screen, hard drive, and other components, it’s easier and more battery friendly (a rather important goal when traveling) to use your smart phone or tablet. Pull out your device and use the Wi-Fi function to look for nodes. Use the following sub-menus for your respective device:
启动笔记本电脑以仅检查Wi-Fi节点是浪费功率。 与其消耗屏幕,硬盘驱动器和其他组件的全部精力,不如使用智能手机或平板电脑更轻松,更省电(在旅行时这是一个非常重要的目标)。 拉出设备,然后使用Wi-Fi功能查找节点。 对您各自的设备使用以下子菜单:
iOS users should navigate to Settings –> Wi-Fi to check out available Wi-Fi nodes.
iOS用户应导航至“设置”->“ Wi-Fi”以检出可用的Wi-Fi节点。
Android users should navigate to Settings –> Wireless & Networks –> Wi-Fi Settings.
Android用户应导航至设置->无线和网络-> Wi-Fi设置。
Blackberry users should navigate to Applications –> Set Up Wi-Fi –> Scan for Networks.
Blackberry用户应导航至应用程序->设置Wi-Fi->扫描网络。
Windows 7 Phone users shoulder navigate to Start –> App –> Settings –> Wi-Fi
Windows 7 Phone用户可以导航至“开始”->“应用”->“设置”->“ Wi-Fi”
iOS, Android, and Windows 7 all support active notification of Wi-Fi networks. When in the aforementioned settings menus look for an option like “Ask to Join Network” (in iOS) and “Network Notification” (in Android). Keeping the Wi-Fi antenna on and searching does tax the battery more than usual but it also gives you up-to-the-minute updates on available Wi-Fi networks.
iOS,Android和Windows 7均支持Wi-Fi网络的主动通知。 在上述设置菜单中时,请寻找一个选项,例如“要求加入网络”(在iOS中)和“网络通知”(在Android中)。 保持Wi-Fi天线打开并进行搜索确实比平时加重了电池电量,但是它还为您提供了可用Wi-Fi网络上的最新更新。
使用Wi-Fi Finder应用程序和网站 (Using Wi-Fi Finder Apps and Web Sites)
![2011-12-06_114917 2011-12-06_114917](https://i-blog.csdnimg.cn/blog_migrate/192781ec08b3c2548738518c01436693.png)
Barring easily finding Wi-FI nodes by pulling out your phone and scanning for them, you’ll need to do a little digging. Fortunately there are a plethora of Wi-Fi hotspot finding applications available for a variety of mobile platforms and as web-based apps.
除非通过拔出手机并进行扫描来轻松找到Wi-FI节点,否则您需要进行一些挖掘。 幸运的是,有大量的Wi-Fi热点查找应用程序可用于各种移动平台以及基于Web的应用程序。
iOS Wi-Fi Finders: Because of restrictions in the App Store submission guidelines, iOS Wi-Fi finders cannot actively scan Wi-Fi nodes. As a result of this limitation popular Wi-Fi finding apps don’t actually actively scan your local networks; they use your location (as provided by the GPS chip) and existing databases of hotspots to alert you to locally available nodes.
iOS Wi-Fi查找器 :由于App Store提交指南中的限制,iOS Wi-Fi查找器无法主动扫描Wi-Fi节点。 由于这种限制,流行的Wi-Fi查找应用程序实际上并没有主动扫描您的本地网络。 他们使用您的位置(由GPS芯片提供)和热点的现有数据库来提醒您本地可用的节点。
- Wi-Fi Finder: The most popular Wi-Fi finding app in the App Store, Wi-Fi Finder taps into the vast JiWire database to help locate both free and paid Wi-Fi hotspots in your locale. Wi-Fi Finder:Wi-Fi Finder可在App Store中最受欢迎的Wi-Fi查找应用程序,可利用庞大的JiWire数据库来帮助在您的区域设置中找到免费和付费的Wi-Fi热点。
Boingo Wi-Finder: Shows free and Boingo sponsored hotspots near your location.
Boingo Wi-Finder :显示您所在位置附近的免费和Boingo赞助的热点。
Free Wi-Fi Finder: Another location-based free Wi-Fi finder.
Free Wi-Fi Finder :另一个基于位置的免费Wi-Fi Finder。
WiFi Get Lite: Includes a large offline database so even if you’re having trouble getting connectivity you can still search for free Wi-Fi locations.
WiFi Get Lite :包含大型离线数据库,因此即使您无法获得连接,您仍然可以搜索免费的Wi-Fi位置。
Android Wi-Fi Finders: Unlike the App Store restrictions Apple developers work under, Android developers have full access to the Wi-Fi component of the device. When selecting applications for Android you have your pick of Wi-Fi database apps and Wi-Fi scanners.
Android Wi-Fi查找器 :与Apple开发人员所遵循的App Store限制不同,Android开发人员可以完全访问设备的Wi-Fi组件。 在为Android选择应用程序时,您可以选择Wi-Fi数据库应用程序和Wi-Fi扫描仪。
Wi-Fi Finder: The same popular app from iOS, now available for Android devices.
Wi-Fi Finder :与iOS相同的流行应用,现已可用于Android设备。
Free Zone Wi-Fi: In addition to helping you locate free hotspots, Free Zone Wi-Fi will automatically connect you to free Wi-Fi nodes, sync your data, and disconnect you in order to cut down on cellular data charges.
Free Zone Wi-Fi : Free Zone Wi-Fi除了帮助您找到免费热点外,还将自动将您连接到免费Wi-Fi节点,同步数据并断开连接,以减少蜂窝数据费用。
WeFi PRO Beta: WeFi offers an interesting twist on hotspot discovery. The WeFi app both scans available hotspots and simultaneously reports them back to WeFi while showing you the best local connection.
WeFi PRO Beta :WeFi在热点发现方面提供了有趣的转折。 WeFi应用程序会扫描可用的热点,并同时将其报告回WeFi,同时为您显示最佳的本地连接。
Open WiFi Scanner: Unlike the previous two apps, Open WiFi scanner is simply a scanning tool that enhances Android’s built-in scanning/notification tools.
Open WiFi Scanner :与前两个应用程序不同,Open WiFi扫描器只是一种扫描工具,可增强Android的内置扫描/通知工具。
Wifi Analyzer: Although intended to diagnose networks, Wifi Analyzer is a popular and robust Wi-Fi analyzer.
Web-based Wi-Fi Indexes: Although it’s far more convenient to access Wi-Fi lists via an app specifically customized for your phone, web indexes can be useful tools for scoping out free Wi-Fi—especially if you’re already on a Wi-Fi spot and want to plan ahead for later connectivity.
基于Web的Wi-Fi索引:尽管通过专门为您的手机定制的应用访问Wi-Fi列表要方便得多,但是Web索引对于确定免费Wi-Fi可能是有用的工具,尤其是如果您已经在使用可以找到Wi-Fi,并希望为以后的连接做好准备。
- JiWire Web Search: Index of over 680,000 free and paid hotspots around the globe. JiWire Web搜索:索引了全球超过680,000个免费和付费热点。
- Boingo Hotspot Search: Index of over 300,000 free and paid hotspots around the globe. Boingo热点搜索:全世界超过300,000个免费和付费热点的索引。
- Hotspotr: Smaller index (around 18,000) but includes reviews of locations. 热点:指数较小(约18,000),但包含位置评论。
Open WiFi Spots: Catalogs 65,000+ spots in the US.
打开WiFi点 :在美国编目65,000多个点。
Between the phone-based and web-based apps you should have little problem finding nearby hotspots.
在基于电话的应用程序和基于Web的应用程序之间,查找附近的热点应该没有问题。
将设备连接到手机 (Tether Your Devices to Your Phone)
![2011-02-23_1501 2011-02-23_1501](https://i-blog.csdnimg.cn/blog_migrate/2053fc92c60acfd4e821a4c27ac9cd3d.png)
This isn’t exactly in the same class as finding free Wi-Fi but when you’re desperate for internet access sometimes you bend the rules a little. If you don’t already have a phone/data plan that supports tethering (with your provider’s blessing) you can use third-party tethering apps to connect your phone’s data stream to your laptop.
这与寻找免费的Wi-Fi并不完全相同,但是当您迫切希望上网时,有时您会稍微改变一些规则。 如果您还没有支持网络共享的电话/数据计划(在提供商的帮助下),则可以使用第三方网络共享应用程序将手机的数据流连接到笔记本电脑。
One of the most popular and long standing option is to use PDAnet and your sync cable. We shared a detailed guide to setting up PDAnet here. It’s, by far, the most popular tethering app around and is compatible with Windows/Mac computers and Android/iOS/BlackBerry/PalmOS/Windows Mobile phones. It comes with a 14-day free trial after which it continues to work but doesn’t allow you to visit secure HTTPS web sites. The full app will set you back $15. Again, PDAnet requires that your device either be connected with the sync cable or synced via Bluetooth; it’s a really solid solution for tethering your laptop but not a viable solution for multiple devices.
最受欢迎且长期存在的选择之一是使用PDAnet和同步电缆。 我们在此处共享了有关设置PDAnet的详细指南 。 它是迄今为止最受欢迎的网络共享应用程序,并且与Windows / Mac计算机和Android / iOS / BlackBerry / PalmOS / Windows Mobile手机兼容。 它具有14天的免费试用期,之后可以继续使用,但不允许您访问安全的HTTPS网站。 完整的应用程序将使您花费15美元。 同样,PDAnet要求您的设备通过同步电缆连接或通过蓝牙进行同步; 这是捆绑笔记本电脑的可靠解决方案,而不是适用于多种设备的可行解决方案。
If you’d like to turn your Android phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot for multiple devices, you’ll need a rooted phone (the Android equivalent of jail breaking) and a copy of Android Wi-Fi Tether installed.
如果您想将Android手机变成适用于多个设备的Wi-Fi热点,则需要安装有根电话(相当于越狱的Android)和已安装的Android Wi-Fi系绳副本。
iPhone users, unfortunately, don’t have any easy no-jailbreak solutions for temporary tethering short of paying extra money for hotspot service. For those who have or are willing to jailbreak their phones, MyWi is an excellent jailbreak only application that enables both sync cable, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth tethering between the iPhone (and the iPad with 3G) and supported devices. It comes with a 3-day trial if you’d like to take it for a test spin before shelling out $20.
不幸的是,iPhone用户没有任何简单的免越狱解决方案来临时进行网络共享,而不必为热点服务支付额外的费用。 对于那些已经或愿意越狱手机的人, MyWi是一款出色的越狱应用程序,它可以在iPhone(以及配备3G的iPad)与支持的设备之间同时进行同步电缆,Wi-Fi和蓝牙网络共享。 如果您想花20美元试用一下,它会提供3天的试用期。
There are a few things worth noting about tethering your phone to your other mobile devices. First, it most certainly violates your cellphone contract (even though most providers completely ignore casual usage). Second, it’s really easy to chew up data usage when you’re using a laptop and/or multiple other devices—while your provider may not care that you’re using a third-party tethering app they most certainly will care when you exceed your data usage for that month. Finally, both sync cable tethering and (especially) Wi-Fi tethering are rough on battery life. Expect your battery usage to sky rocket while tethering and plan for frequent charging or keeping your phone plugged in while tethering.
将手机与其他移动设备共享时,需要注意几件事。 首先,它肯定会违反您的手机合同(即使大多数提供商完全忽略了随意使用)。 其次,当您使用笔记本电脑和/或其他多种设备时,减少数据的使用量确实很容易,而提供商可能不在乎您使用的是第三方网络共享应用程序,但他们肯定会在您超出限制范围时使用它们该月的数据使用情况。 最后,同步电缆束缚和(特别是)Wi-Fi束缚均会严重影响电池寿命。 进行网络共享时,请期待天火箭的电池使用量,并在网络共享时计划频繁充电或保持手机电源连接。
Between using your phone as an active scanner, using hotspot cataloging apps on your phone and laptop, and—in a bind—using your phone as a roll-your-own Wi-Fi hotspot, you’ll never be without internet access again.
从将手机用作活动扫描仪,到在手机和笔记本电脑上使用热点编目应用程序之间,以及绑定使用手机作为自己的无线Wi-Fi热点,您将永远无法再次访问互联网。
