Why would you be unlikely to bring your own router in a coffee-shop situation? My travel router fits in a small pouch with its power adapter and together is no larger than a couple of decks of cards. If I have my laptop, then I have my backpack, which means I have my travel router.
- varenc 2y agoHah, well I have a travel router as well I use for things like hotels, but I wouldn't really want to bring it to a coffeeshop because the setup process is a bit onerous. I need to get the travel router to connect to whatever the coffeshop's wifi is and then get through its captive portal. The last part can be tricky in my experience though it's certainly doable. Personally I wouldn't bother with the hassle and would instead just rely on an on-device VPN which I now would need to ensure is protected from this type of attack.
