What’s your take on using a VPN once you connect to a WiFi (private or remote), especially given the recent KRACK WPA2 attack?

Yes; so someone spoofs my mail server’s or banks DNS entry, and my mail client and browser catch it due to the TLS cerfificate chain.
That’s mostly privacy-related; I don’t have much an issue with someone collecting metadata about me while I’m on their public WiFi. YMMV.

I’m not, that’s why I’m asking :) My OS, messenger, mail, and browser are all mainstream and running the latest version.

That’s my point: I never assume I’m in a safe network, not even when I use a cable connection in my office
Question is: should you use VPN on *private* WiFi? ➡️ alexhudson.com/2017/10/15/wp…

I don’t use a VPN, even on public WiFi, because I don’t use any unsecured protocols (except for occasional public HTTP). Am I being naïve?

As a grown up who knows them, my reaction to “Killing in the Name of” while driving is exactly the same, even at the 1000th listen :)

It’s also the means by which all relevant public chains do it. Not sure comparing a private one is fair.
