Login protection for the game

I travel a lot so I worry about logging in from hotels or wifi hotspots. Is there any kind of encryption or protection on the login from the CoH game client?

Red name response appreciated.

I'm not a red name and you might be waiting a long time for a red to respond since they will most likely just skim your title and not read the post itself. But I've been here awhile and no there is nothing extra beyond your user name and password. It's one of the reason that they suggest your forum ID/Global chat be different from your login.

If you want a redname response, then send them a Private Message. General Poses are not often responded to.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

As said, a redname response is unlikely, since this is the "Players helping players find information related to CoH/CoV" section of the board. Red name posts are extremely rare here.

One thing you can look into is a VPN service. I've used VyprVPN to good effect.

The one problem is that not all free wi-fi spots will let it pass through.

Who's good to PM? I've PM'ed before and gotten no or very late responses

I know they're busy.

Castle or BaBs are usually pretty helpful, I've gotten good responses from both. Now that Going Rogue is live their workload is (probably) a little lighter than it was for the past few months. Mod08 will probably give you an answer as well.

(BaBs = Back Alley Brawler)

Their work load is "lighter" now? Not if I can help it... mush doggie mush!
Anyway I hope the OP gets an answer regardless.

According to redname PM, there IS protection, though he said he couldn't provide details. That's fine by me.

The only thing I wanted to know was that there's some method used to prevent someone from scooping up my name and password during login when I'm using wireless or otherwise on the road and it appears there is.
