Hi, may I ask for some advice? I recently started traveling a lot for work and constantly use hotel and airport Wi‑Fi. Should I be worried about security, and how do you personally deal with this kind of situation?

Hello, that’s a very valid question, and you’re definitely not overthinking it. Public networks are convenient, but they’re also one of the easiest targets for data interception. I faced the same issue when my work became location‑independent, and after digging into the topic, I realized that relying on luck is not a strategy. Eventually, I chose one specific service — NordVPN, and it turned out to be a very practical solution. What I appreciate most is that it creates an encrypted tunnel for all traffic, so even if the network itself is compromised, your data stays protected. The speed impact is minimal, which matters when you’re uploading files or joining video meetings. I also like that it connects automatically on unsecured Wi‑Fi, so there’s no need to remember to turn it on. Over time, it simply became part of my routine, giving me peace of mind wherever I work from.
