I have all of their apps on a separate profile. One app I do sadly need data for to check my schedule and look up prices of things.

So if https is all that's needed, why do VPNs recommend using them at public locations? Just false advertising? I click on my bank app and it always wants a password and I guess I don't know enough about network engineering. I'm interested in Android Development but don't know much about WiFi I guess.

Public WiFi would make me skeptical when I always put in my passwords.

Obviously it's not something you can get up and do but it's something I'd plan out.

I needed a job, alright. I usually shop at hannaford although it's expensive. I wanna farm someday.

2 GB data limit, need a different provider honestly...

It's even worse as an associate. They make us sign up for some social media I never use, download apps on our phones, and make us give them our handprints for a machine to take out our tills. And we're getting face scanned by cameras all day. Dystopian nightmare and it makes me feel ashamed to have accepted the job here.

I use GOS and therefore believe that I have some level of protection on the WiFi level based off of that, and I have their apps on a separate profile but it's getting tougher on privacy here at Walmart.

Edit: That's also why I have no pictures of me in my socials and deleted my Facebook, Instagram, and twitter, so they shouldn't have too many ways to market to me aside through my debit and credit cards possibly.

Fair, but even using your normal router without a VPN isn't good imo. Even if it's not as bad as public. And VPNs are usually an extreme measure. If I was using public WiFi, and doing stuff on my bank account, then yes, VPN all the way, but I usually don't feel that I need it.

It's always worth it, that's less money they're getting. Join the movement. They won't learn anything new about you or your life in the future.
