Just use unencrypted wifi but do anything that matters over a good VPN. Assume you can't trust your ISP and local network anyway. All this moaning about wifi security doesn't make sense to me.
- pconner 12y agoThis requires you to trust the VPN, though.

- Crito 12y agoI'd rather not keep on receiving DMCA notices from my ISP because my neighbors refuse to stop torrenting Game of Thrones the day it comes out. A password on my wifi isn't to protect my traffic, it is to keep obnoxious neighbors from simply using my connection.
- dethstar 12y agoI wanted to trust my ISP. Then they inserted an ad when I was browsing HN. I changed their domain in my hosts file to localhost, changed dns and started looking into vpn.
- dspillett 12y agoIt might be worth naming and shaming the ISP, so others can avoid it, if you are sure that it was definitely them and not some form of local malware infection, especially if you have some sort of evidence recorded from the incident (or can collect some by repeating it).
- dethstar 12y agoI'm from Mexico so it might not be as useful but my ISP is Cablevision. The only proof I've got is that it was an iframe inserted into non related pages from their server and for a specific offer they were making. I really doubt it was any form of local malware.
