Free WiFi

I’m at the beach staring out to sea. The sun is high, the tide is out, and I’m relaxed.

I glance around and spot a sign on a nearby pole. Free WiFi.

The local council is providing free WiFi for anyone that wants it.

How safe is public WiFi? I’m guessing not very. I Don’t connect. I’m fine with my data plan. I don’t need to save the bytes.

If I did I’d probably use a VPN. And then I couldn’t do any financial transactions over it. Too paranoid.

How secure is free WiFi?

I don’t plan on finding out. Instead I look back out to sea watching the boats on the horizon. I wonder if they have WiFi?
