Travel & Public Wi-Fi Check – Laptop Safety on Untrusted Networks

A laptop configured for your office is not configured for an airport.

The Travel & Public Wi-Fi Check is the pre-flight inspection for a machine that is about to sit on networks you do not control. It takes three minutes and catches the settings that quietly expose a laptop the moment it leaves home.

What it checks

• File and printer sharing left switched on — the single most common way a laptop leaks on a hotel network
• Which firewall profile Windows applies when it joins an unfamiliar network
• Remembered open and hotel networks your laptop will silently rejoin, anywhere in the world
• Whether a VPN is present and configured, and whether anything forces traffic through it
• Network discovery and name broadcast settings that announce your machine to the room
• Drive encryption status — what happens to your data if the bag goes missing

What you get

• A written PDF report emailed back to you, typically within one business day.
• Every finding rated Critical / High / Medium / Low.
• A short pre-travel checklist you can reuse before every trip.
• Step-by-step fix instructions written for a normal computer user, not an engineer.
• Reporting built to CompTIA Security+ and PenTest+ practice standards.

Who it's for

Anyone who works from cafes, hotels, airports or client sites — and anyone handing a laptop to someone who does.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• Run as administrator
• About 3 minutes

What this is not

QuickScan is detection and advisory only. It inspects your own machine's settings; it never touches other devices on the network, never exploits a weakness, and leaves nothing running behind it. It is not a VPN and it is not a certification, an audit or an attestation.
