What Is Public Wi-Fi?
A wireless network available in public spaces, often unencrypted or with minimal security.
Wi-Fi networks in cafes, airports, or hotels are often open or use a shared password for all customers, which makes man-in-the-middle attacks easier. Connecting through a VPN encrypts your traffic, protecting it even on unsecured public networks.
