Today's episode is about using a VPN for running flight applications on your drone. Can you protect your data by using a VPN? Are there any alternatives to using a VPN?

Our caller, Kevin is wondering if he should use a VPN to protect his data. Is your data safe when you are using a VPN? How do you set up a VPN? We also discuss if alternative measures such as using a Faraday cage and a DJI CrystalSky monitor will help ensure data security. And, we wrap up this episode by speculating if drone pilots will increasingly resort to using VPN's in the coming years.Thanks to Kevin for the question. Fly Safe!
