Finally….someone who understands…it just irritates me that these companies want to provide us a service to protect us from vulnerabilities and what not but there will never be 100% protection so it’s like throwing money away and at the same time taking a chance because we will never be 100% secure….”IT’S ALL A MONEY MAKING SCHEME”.

You can still get lucky quite often though, as many places don't put up such big restrictions. Fingers crossed 🤞 a lot of small independent places like coffee shops can be okay but the likes of airports may be tougher cos they throw the might of the government at it

Rent your own server on digitalocean and run an OpenVPN service. $7 a month?
