Never trust public WiFi no matter where you go. If you are or plan to be a digital nomad, you do not want anyone snooping on your connections or sniffing your data packets. This is especially true in countries where certain content is restricted or free speech is limited.
Always have a VPN enabled at the system level so that every packet leaving your device is routed securely through your chosen VPN provider. This protects your privacy and helps you avoid censorship or blocks. Choose a VPN service with strong encryption and a no-logs policy. Set it up once to run automatically so you never have to worry about turning it on.
This simple step protects your data, keeps your digital life safe, and ensures you stay in control of your internet connection wherever you travel.
