Since this is a security focused discussion, why do you see wifi hijacking your dns lookups as something desirable?
- avhception 1y agoBecause there are a lot of situations, like being in a hotel, where you simply can't do anything to avoid it and have live with it / work around it. And while we all would like to live in that perfect ivory tower of CIA-level security, we mostly live in the real world and have to make do with what we have.

- londons_explore 1y agowifi hijacking is here to stay. The solution is to detect it happening, and then switch to a different 'mode' where you ignore all https certs but never send any private data and never trust any data received.
