[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1121173, member: 96560"] I believe a good set of firewall rules is required like TaikuOkami says. Especially because at a cafe we are dealing with attackers in the same LAN. Do yoau remember, for example, that you have a simple 5 character password for your folder shares? Or that you have Remote Desktop turned on for convenience? All that Trust is no longer there when you are at a cafe. You no longer have a NAT modem+router perimeter defense like when you are at home. So you need to have very strict firewall rules. An alternative compensating control would be to use your cell phone's hotspot [/QUOTE]
