Can someone piggyback my internet connection?

Posted on


When someone connects to your unsecured WiFi network without your permission, that’s considered piggybacking. Most piggybacking cases come from a neighbor who doesn’t want to pay for WiFi themselves and sees an opportunity to connect to yours for free.

How do I stop someone using my Internet connection?

This varies according to router types but you can mostly add devices to your router’s Blacklist under the ‘Device Management’ section of your access point dashboard/control panel or whatever section that lists out all devices connected to your router. There you’ll see “block” user button or something similar.
