I’ve been facing this issue for some time because I always have to connect to public WiFi in hotels, Starbucks and airports to open some confidential apps as bank accounts, password manager, etc. and I was wondering here what do other nomads do to protect themselves in this scenario?
What you really need to be careful of: that your computer isn’t accessible via Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) file shares. This is where someone could browse your computer’s files, grab personal docs and even grab cookies from your browser for hijacking your (banking) sessions.
