Good use for VPNs
Comment on Hotel review sites should include a section where reviewers can share the internet speed

Am I the only one who would never trust hotel wifi with a device I actually care about?

I’d much rather just use a hotspot or something if I could. I don’t trust the other guests, and I wouldn’t trust the big hotel chains not to monetize your traffic in some way.

When I traveled to Sri Lanka, one hotel didnt have isolated devices active.
Had some fun with another guest that used the android casting by remote controlling the volume ;)

I use a travel router that feeds everything through a VPN.

I wish I could do that but I need a special certificate… So I bring an extra phone that does basically the same.

They don’t care enough to monitor what you’re doing. That’s money they won’t spend, generally they don’t even want to spend on necessary things if nobody’s going to sue and/or die from it. That said, treat it like an open network and take your own security precautions because theirs will be minimal.

That’s what I meant, yeah.
