|    Public wifi    |

      From: MikeE@ster.invalid              I have almost zero experience using public wifi, my few examples have       been coffee shops, the courthouse, hotels, airplanes & trains.              A linux software app was recently dev/d by someone who uses public wifi       regularly to suit his convenience, and his convenience accordingly       caused him to dev a tool called freewifid.              While it seems useful for its purpose, I found myself wondering what the       people who frequently use public wifi should be doing for their security       and privacy concerns.              One place said they should be using a VPN.              The linux app and its source are here       https://codeberg.org/jbb/freewifid              This is an article at his website/blog       https://jbb.ghsq.de/kde/2025/08/29/freewifid.html       > Improving the experience with public Wi-Fi hotspots                            --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
