[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 988222, member: 59691"] True, but considering that most public wifis will be slower than your actual home network, that shouldn't be a big issue. There are actually quite a few other downsides to a third-party VPN. 1. You can't really use it for unblocking geo-restricted content. (Except if you are in another country and want to access content from your country) 2. It doesn't provide any "anonymity" (Even tho third-party VPNs probably also don't do that) Most important thing for [USER=91033]@Templarware[/USER] seems to be the encryption in public wifis, and for that a self-hosted VPN is probably the better solution. And as a nice bonus: A real [B]no-logging-policy [/B](except your ISP) (y) [/QUOTE]
