Public Wi-Fi has a bad reputation — but in 2025, the “you’ll get hacked instantly” fear is largely outdated. In this episode, Tom and Kevin dig into real research and modern protections that make most public Wi-Fi connections reasonably safe. We’ll explore why HTTPS, device security, and updated standards have drastically reduced the risks, what threats still exist, and when you might actually want to use a VPN.
