Question: If I'm connecting to my access point (or any, for that matter) without WEP enabled, but I'm connecting through a VPN, is my information that I'm transmitting safe? What if I'm just browsing with explorer on the net, though an encrypted page? If my transmissions are intercepted, will they be able to see what I entered in the web page?
Answer: There are different types of safe.
Your data going through an encrypted tunnel is safe from sniffers.
Not using WEP only exposes your network from someone associating to it, so they may have the ability to surf the net as well as whatever else is exposed on your network...
