Is there a firewall in iOS8 when using public WiFi?

If I am not able to use cell connections because I am out of range, but there is a public WiFi, I want to know my phone can't be seen by anyone I don't want to see it. Is there a firewall or something similar in iOS8 to cloak the phone as there is in OS10?

So what I'm hearing is that if I haven't jailbroke my phone, I should be OK on public WiFi's?
The danger in public, unsecured WiFi networks is not that people will be able to see the contents of our device. The danger lies in sending sensitive information over that network. Don't do your online banking, for example, over an unsecured, untrusted network.

    Is there any way to protect an ipad when using public wifi

    Don't send any sensitive information over unsecured WiFi. This would include banking details, credit card numbers and the like.

    You're not confusing this with a shared Photo Stream...?
    Because the short answer is no, photos don't appear unless they were put there by someone with your Apple ID credentials. To rule out that possibility, change your Apple ID password by carefully following all these instructions:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud account password
    If you decide to change your password, and you also want to change your Apple ID, I recommend you do not concurrently change your Apple ID until sufficient time has passed and you are confident the password change has been effected on all your iOS devices. 24 hours ought to be more than enough.
    It is not necessary to change your Apple ID unless it is an email address you no longer wish to use.

  • I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN for security?

    I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN software? And is it needed at the receiving end?

    As long as you only enter your password in secure web forms, connect to secure mail servers, and don't mind if a stranger is watching which Internet servers you connect to (but can't see what you do with them), a VPN isn't necessary.

  • App Store won't load when using our wifi

    App Store won't load when using wifi

    So I'm having this problem with my Ipod 5th gen. I tried absolutely everything but the router suggestions. Mainly because this problem isn't just at home, it's everywhere. I can connect to every free wifi or pass-worded wifi (with the correct password) just fine. But I can't access the internet or apps using the internet at all. Full signal like everyone else. Just no results. Took every tip in this forum and nothing has worked. Even tried deleting the apps that weren't working and re-installing just to make sure it wasn't just a crappy connections with the internet. NOTHING! Someone please help? I'm starting to think it might just be the antenna or the fact that it's about 2 years old and kind of abused. It's been working up until I recovered it after 2 1/2 months of being last in the mix of pants that were packed away. Didn't get washed or anything just had the battery die while it was sitting there. Found it yesterday and starting today I can't access Safari, Youtube, the App Store, or anything else that requires an internet connection. What should I do? Should I take it in to the Apple Store and get it checked out? Or is there something I can do by myself?

  • Why can't I send emails with ios8 when not on wifi

    When not on wifi, I cannot send mail and a message about IMAP comes up.  It also says to check configuration in settings.  What is the solution.  Thanks.

    Probably you did not enter your email and password for the outgoing mail server when setting up the account. It works on your WiFi because it is within your ISP's network. When you are using cellular data it's outside of your ISP's network, so you need to prove who you are to the server.

  • International Travel Using Public WiFi and U.S. On...

    I just installed Skype to use at public wifi's on a South America trip.  I bought Skype credits, plan to use pay as you go, and set up a U.S online number.  When I am in Ecuador as an example, I want to make calls to landlines back to the U.S., to other landlines and cells within country (Ecuador), and from Ecuador to landlines or cells in other South American countries.
    Will my setup work for this?  Will the rates be as if I'm in the U.S, and calling from the U.S. to Ecuador or the other countries?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It doesn't matter which country you are calling from. The rates are based on the country you are calling to, so for example the rates for calling to US are the same no matter where from the world you are calling.
    There are currently some promotional rates for our users in US and Canada for making international calls, these rates are available only in US or Canada, but generally it does not matter which country you are located in.
    You can check the rates on the following page:
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/payg-rates/
    Simply enter the country you want to call to, and the rates will be displayed.

  • Can too much memory lead to a kernel panic on a MacBook Pro? specs 2.4GHz intel core i7 16GB DDR3 RAM   late2011..My laptop began suffering from kernel panics 3 mos ago first noticed using public wifi. Gone thru apple support all the way to engineers

    Can too much RAM memory in a late 2011 model macbook pro lead to kernel panic? That is what I was told by a senior supervisor from apple support who troubleshot this issue.First noticed this problem in Dec 2014 while using a private wifi at a relative's home. Did not occur again until Feb1 using a public wifi at a hotel. Never happened on my private wifi network until last night  attempting to use airplay. ( have used airplay before without issue). Late 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.9.5; 2.4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB DDR3,AMD Radeon HD 6770m 1024 MB graphic card.  The laptop came with 8GB RAM and I installed 8 GB about 2 years ago for some reason I cannot remember... probably because I thought the system was slowing down a little. I know that sounds silly. I do not run multiple programs at a time except I leave 6-8 website tabs open simultaneously. I don't photo or video edit.  I would describe my use as "light"  based on reading these blogs.I had purchased apple support and spent hours on the phone with them in early Feb moving up through support  and senior support to sending logs to the "engineers." Of course lots of things were done some of which I am sorry to report I cannot recall their technical definitions. Deleted  3rd party apps/programs; re-worked start up menu; re-installed operating system; reset " this, that and the other" using acrobatic simultaneous key strokes both in and out of safe mode..Anyway the results from the engineers came back and they suggested that if it happened again I was to remove the 8GB of RAM I had installed as the system was getting confused as to which chip to use.( that is my interpretation of what was said..prob dumbed down for me)...Anyway 1 day after these pronouncements came down I read that Apple had agreed to fix  graphics cards in some late model 2011 MBPs. I felt this was unlikely to be the issue  given all that had been done including an extended hardware test but called the Senior Support Supervisor I was working with to ask him to make sure. He never phoned me back. Should I go to the trouble of removing 8GB of RAM from my laptop? Of course I will try it as the alternative is a new computer.Blogs read that this model can support 16GB but Apple didn't test for it. Senior Supervisor claims this is my trouble.  Does that make sense?  Not to me....but it is clear to all my level of knowledge.  Can a malfunctioning graphics card be missed by an extended hardware test? I appreciate comments.

    The RAM needs specs as shown below.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

  • Since using public wifi cannot send email

    Hi.
    I used a college public wifi today, I noted I could not send email which is not unusual perhaps they do not have ssl or whatever on the public.
    Anyhow I have got home and I still cannot send emails. I have restarted the mac and mail etc but all four email accounts will not send email.
    Its not my home network, my wife can send from the same LAN no problems.
    Any ideas?

    Perhaps start with the really simple stuff like read what I wrote
    For what ever reason it seems to have righted it self so this is fixed!

  • There is no printer output when using the PrintOut method

    I have a VB6 app with CR XI, and a customer found a situation that when printing a report directly to the printer using the PrintOut method, there is no printer output or error message.
    Some reports using the same code print normally, but a report that is preceded by another print call, presents this behavior.
    And when the output is directed to the screen, we can see the report.
    Could someone give me an idea of what is the problem?

    Hi Isis,
    Not sure if you have applied any service Packs to CR? If please do so and test again. Then you can upgrade to CR XI R2 for free, use your XI Keycode and download Service Pack 4 from this link:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe
    You'll find the distribution files for your app also from that same download area.
    If you don't want to upgrade to XI R2 then download all patches from XI and test again. This issues rings a bell that it may have been fixed.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Why are there CORBA error messages -- COMM_FAILURE when using the orb obj?

  • There is no video preview when using a Final Cut Pro X project as my source.

    When I send my FCPX project to Compressor 4 there is no video preview in the preview window. I have the source selected from the dropdown preview settings but the screen is black with no sound, even though the timecode is correct. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    If you export (command e) as a QT movie, then bring that into Compressor as the source file, can you preview it?
