Like a couple of others, I'd like to say "I don't use public wifi" but the fact is that every now and then I have to.

The first thing I do is try to connect on a VPN. If there are any issues, like it not going through at all, I abandon the wifi channel and tell my device to forget the SSID. For instance, Virgin Trains will try to MITM so I'll put up with using intermittent 4G instead.
