I’ve been facing this issue for some time because I always have to connect to public WiFi in hotels, Starbucks and airports to open some confidential apps as bank accounts, password manager, etc. and I was wondering here what do other nomads do to protect themselves in this scenario?
VPN is just shifting the question “Do I trust the person who operates the WiFi” to “Do I trust the person who operates the VPN”. Therefore, it is mostly bullshit.
And even then, most traffic is encrypted now anyways. So using a VPN is more like using two condoms.
Avast scans the wifi for security issues.
Só operate your own vpn. Got it
