Do I need a VPN on public Wi-Fi?

Public Wi-Fi in airports, hotels, and cafes is shared and often unencrypted, so others on the network can potentially see your traffic. A VPN encrypts your connection. Tiger lets you buy just an hour for $1 for exactly those moments.

What is the cheapest VPN for public Wi-Fi?

Tiger VPN charges $1 for one hour — the cheapest way to protect a single session on public Wi-Fi, with no subscription or auto-renewal.

A VPN for public Wi-Fi

Protect any network for $1 — pay by the hour

// why it matters

Airport, hotel, and cafe Wi-Fi is shared and often unencrypted — anyone on the same network can potentially snoop your traffic. A VPN encrypts everything you send. With Tiger you don't need a subscription for a one-off coffee-shop session: $1 covers an hour.

01. The risk on open networks

Unencrypted hotspots let others on the network see unsecured traffic.
"Evil twin" hotspots mimic a real network name to intercept your connection.
Session snooping on shared Wi-Fi can expose what apps and sites you're using.

02. What Tiger does about it

[ 🔒 ]

Encrypts the session

WireGuard wraps your traffic so the network only sees an encrypted tunnel, not your activity.

[ $ ]

$1 for the moment

Buy exactly one hour for one session. No month-long plan for a 20-minute coffee stop.

[ ◎ ]

No logs

We never record your browsing or DNS. The session ends with a receipt proving nothing was stored.

03. How to use it

Connect to the public network, open Tiger, buy a 1-hour pass, tap connect.
The timer shows your remaining time; extend by +10/+30/+60 min if you stay longer.
Done? It expires on its own — nothing renews.
