MODERATORS
In the EU they already had a complaint, because it violates GDPR, but in any case I would never use a public WiFi without a VPN, and even less in places with these conditions, there is also free WiFi in some Rstaurants (even in most McDonalds), public Libraries and others. Fuck surveillance advertising
Agreed. My iPhone connects to my home VPN via Wireguard as soon as I leave my home WiFi. Has the added benefit of pihole ad filtering everywhere.
So the first thing you give any sketchy WiFi is your home address?
Yup. What are they gonna do that every other portscanning bad actor isn’t doing 24/7 already?
Also, how would they distinguish between my private VPN and that of a commercial provider?
