Seriously, this is the lowest hanging fruit. Never trust hotel WiFi.
E: infants and their alts
extremely low hanging fruit. I travel a lot for work and all my laptops have VPNs with encrypted DNS. Even had to set that up on one of my FreeBSD installs (which was a god damn pain and with the shit wifi on that there really wasn’t much of a point at the end of the day).
it’s even more mandatory for places that have NO captive portals. Those connections are opening themselves up to a can of worms. Looking at you Union Station in Toronto Canada. seriously, fix your shit. One of the biggest transit hubs in all of Canada and their wifi is completely 100% open.

lol same at Union Station WDC and all Amtrak trains (if the wifi even works). Finally switched to a gl.inet (openwrt) hotspot for work travel and haven’t looked back.
