The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued guidance to consumers considering using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) 
for their mobile phones. Some mobile phone users choose to use VPNs to shield the information on their phones when 
using public Wi-Fi networks.

NCCIC/US-CERT encourages consumers to review the FTC article [
