Yeah, i thought VPN would do the job. But while looking for the best VPN services i came across this article schub.io/blog/2019/04/08/very-prec... now i feel a like a VPN only transfairs the risk of the public wifi to the VPN endpoint.
I agree 100% with the article. This part of the conclusion is what should apply in your case:
If you are using your device on a public network, VPNs can help you protect your data. Good examples for such networks are the WiFi networks that do not require a passphrase to connect, for example on Airports, in Cafes, or public buildings. Networks like these make it easy for attackers to get a copy of your network data, and if you send something unencrypted, the results can be quite harmful
and he also goes on suggesting the very VPN I'd suggest:
I have a ProtonVPN subscription myself, just for those instances where I am sitting in an airport waiting for my plane, or using a large event’s WiFi to check my mail. In those cases, using a VPN is a really smart thing to do, as long as you do not expect your data is more secure than in your home network.
VPN are not infallible but in some cases like public wifi and going around regional restrictions are useful!
You're not wrong. But that's why you use a known quantity good (and paid) VPN. If you use a free one, it's just like the saying with Facebook/Google/whatever:
You can use a VPN service if you don't feel like using a public network, that's what I do sometimes

If the product is free, you're the product.
Yeah, definitely take a paid VPN service. Since they are pretty cheap and giving up customer data would be so much more expensive.
