OpenSSL affected by heartbleed bug

This tablet OpenSSL is affected by the heartbleed bug and can't
be updated. If I run VPNoneclick when accessing Internet, will
that protect me from being hacked due to this bug?

 

Which tablet is "this"?

"All versions of Android are immune to CVE-2014-0160 (with
the limited exception of Android 4.1.1; patching information
for Android 4.1.1 is being distributed to Android partners)."

Are you running any of these apps? If so, follow the above advice:

Digital 2 Or D2.

It has 4.1.1
No updates available

It looks like all the apps I use are fixed or unaffected, passwords have
been changed.

 

Isn't the heartbleed problem on the server end, not the client?

 

Both ends.

Reading the article, it sounds unlikely that a client will have a heartbleed
issue. However lots of people wget, and that supposedly could be hijacked.
