Thanks
This does not answer your question - but to have a greater level of security don't use public wifi. In many places you can get a local data SIM. Use this SIM with your tablet or with your phone. If you need computer access, create a hotspot using your SIM equipped tablet or phone. If you do not have a tablet or phone that is carrier and SIM unlocked you can have it unlocked by the carrier under certain circumstances. If you do not have a GSM phone, buy one UNLOCKED, but make sure it is data capable and preferably can generate a hotspot. If you are traveling to areas that do not use GSM, then you will need other solutions.
