Comment on Apple has revealed a Passwords app vulnerability that lasted for months

The best VPN is one you run yourself. If you’re on an insecure network like a coffee shop, you can route traffic through a known secure network like your home or a VPS/server you rent.

Absolutely true. I have a paid VPN service that hardly gets used, but I call home with Wireguard multiple times a day (usually not for the encryption, though). Most basic home routers include a VPN feature as well, and it doesn’t require much technical ability to configure beyond a quick web search for the router model and what the hell DDNS means.
