Only if you use a shitty ISP which tries to MITM you. So don’t use a shitty ISP that tries to MITM you. Problem solved. How is that even controversial?

- Klathmon 9y agoBut it's not only if you use a shitty ISP. It's if any hop between you and the server is being shitty. And only 1 or 2 of those can you control as the user.
- pfg 9y agoUsers often have very little choice when it comes to their ISP. Regional ISP monopolies are very much a thing in many countries.
- shakna 9y agoHaving spent four months in a hospital, it isn't just "ISPs" who are the problem. Rather than the hospital supplying any kind of proper authentication, they MITM the first connection to their WiFi, and logged your IP address as your user. They also required you refresh that connection every half hour or so. There are a lot of people doing things in really bad ways. We can't fix all of them, and often we don't have a choice about interacting with them.
- IncRnd 9y agoYep. That's why the name for any one of these is "captive portal".
