Activate this free Movistar service

Activate Movistar Secure Connection

Secure Connection is a free Movistar service for customers of miMovistar, Fusión or mobile contract rates that protects you in real time when browsing the Internet from potential threats such as malware and fraud (identity theft known as phishing).

Essentially, what this tool does is serve as a measure of the reputation of the domain you want to access and, if it has a questionable reputation, it alerts you and blocks access, allowing you to continue under your responsibility.

You just have to activate it and without having to install anything on the devices, you will be protected by your Movistar network (3G/4G/5G network and home WiFi network). It would be protecting you in all cases of browsing the Movistar network except:

• If you change your APN (Access Point Names)
• If you use a VPN service
• In data compression services for Smartphones
• If you use a proxy service
• If you are not connected to your Movistar network unless you have downloaded the Movistar Device Security app

Its activation is free and immediate and independent of the operating system, as well as the device you are browsing, to guarantee security no matter how you navigate. You can activate and deactivate the service whenever you want and on the lines you want from the management portal https://conexionsegura.movistar.es , just by entering your ID and operator customer password.

An alternative way to activate Secure Connection is through your television . As easy as taking your remote control and entering Movistar Plus+ from the UHD Decoder or UHD Smart WiFi Decoder. Once you have accessed, in the upper left you will find a menu called “Apps” next to the search engine. Press with your controller and browse through the catalog of Living Apps experiences. When you see the Smart WiFi Living App, click on its icon to access it. You will find a main page where you will see different options. At the bottom you will see “Secure Connection”, press it with your remote control. You will get the option to “Activate Secure Connection” for free. You will receive a notification on your mobile phone, in the Mi Movistar App, to confirm the activation.

On the hunt for cryptocurrency scams

Now, Movistar’s security team, led by Chema Alonso, has partnered with ESET’s cyberintelligence team to provide the tool with a Web3-focused feed of malicious domains . This will help block websites that are focused on threats in the world of cryptocurrencies, tokens, etc. To do this, they have mainly focused on cryptostealers, cryptominers and fake brokers .

With this service activated, when entering a web page that is considered fraudulent , you would see an alert page like the one in the image above. In the event that you are sure that it is an error or you want to continue at your own risk, there is a button that indicates “Continue anyway”, so the service prevents, but in no way restricts your willingness to access.
