Description
This App will Detect all types of FAKE WIFI HOTSPOTSThis "Fake Hotspot Detector" makes use of Geolocation to associate each Detected WiFi Hotspot (i.e. Network) with a particular WiFI Zone
A WiFi Hotspot with a given name (SSID) can be Whitelisted in One Zone, but warned about in another Zone
This app will Warn you if your Phone Connects to a WiFi Network that you have NOT (previously) Whitelisted in the Current WiFi Zone
There are three categories of WiFi Hotspots you should be concerned about:
1. All "Free WiFi Networks", as found at Airports, in Hotels, Restaurants, etc.
These are Open Public WiFi Hotspots that you knowingly may connect to yourself.
2. A "Free WiFi Network" that you have logged onto before.
When your Phone "sees" this again, it will Automatically Connect to it again - without your knowledge or consent.
3. Hotspots set up to mimic one of your normally used WiFi Routers. Also called "Honeypots".
This type of Hotspot will present itself to your Phone with the same Names as those WiFi Routers that you have previously been Connected to
Examples of this type of Hotspots are the American "Pineapple", and probably also the "InterApp" Surveillance System made by the Italian firm RayZone, which is offered to Governments and Law Enforcment Agencies - to spy on us
When your Phone "sees" such a Hotspot, it will Automatically and Silently Connect to it
This unwanted behavior is caused by shortcomings in most WiFi Systems and Phones
Fake Hotspots are used by Hackers and some Government Agencies - to spy on you
All Types of Fake Hotspots are set up to "listen in" on your Internet Communication, and e.g. try to detect your Passwords, etc.
This App will Detect - and Warn you - when your Phone Connects to a Fake Hotspot of Type 2 and 3 above, enabling you to DISABLE the Connection
For a more simple Protection against unwanted WiFi Hotspots, you can optionally configure the App to Disable WiFi outside Whitelisted Zones

When your Phone connects to an Unknown WiFi Hotspot (or a normal WiFi Router), you will be Alerted by the Red Warning Screen - and an Alarm Sound
If you are Alerted by one of your normally used and Known WiFi Routers, you should WHITELIST it
All Settings are preConfigured for Normal Use
If you should NEVER Detect a "Fake Hotspot" - you should consider yourself LUCKY - and NOT BLAME us!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
