Nowadays most of WiFI spots block VPN.

If you use Windscribe in Robert social can be blocked easily.

I'd reccomend always using a VPN when on public WiFi which is well known in the computer security world to commonly be insecure, in spite of the feel good psudo-security they usually set up on it.

People forget what public means.

Also most (important sites anyway) use https these days and that prevent against manipulation or sniffing.
Important sites even use pinning which make a modification impossible.

Anyway I would never do sensible stuff on a public network.
For rest using a encrypted DNS service is enough and Android can do that natively.

So why should anyone use a VPN for that which get the data and more? Can't get that in my head.

I use VPN(Ekspress) almost all the time, but sometimes when I have to download something fast, I don't.
