Good conversation but you seemed out of your depth talking about tech security at the end. Not all good advice.
I deal with real users; saying just use VPN on public wifi doesn't work. They use scam VPNs. Nobody manages to patch their android. etc.
"beware of scam VPN" isn't the same msg as "ah, I'm not worried about public wi-fi, there's not much they can do..."
No offense meant, otherwise you were an erudite guest.
No offense, but it was difficult to explain quickly. I think this is a no good situation; beware of VPN doesn't get us far either.
Most stuff we worry about on public wifi--well, pages need to be https. It's super hard for regular people to deal with this otherwise.
We're entering an age where people are going to be lifelong learners about multiple subjects though. Turn a knob & get paid days are over.
It's inhuman to expect people to completely retool every decade; not possible. Some new learning sure; but the current expectation, no.
Sadly in terms of security, I see no alternative; only luxury brands like Apple / Vertu seem to care.
