Nomads, while you’re traveling around, how do you protect yourself on public WiFi? (alien.top)

I’ve been facing this issue for some time because I always have to connect to public WiFi in hotels, Starbucks and airports to open some confidential apps as bank accounts, password manager, etc. and I was wondering here what do other nomads do to protect themselves in this scenario?

I have a VPN router at a family member home, so I get a residential IP address. I use a VPS as my backup VPN.

I use KeepassXC for my password manager.

I don't like trusting someone else with my data security.

That's actually a safer and better idea. I am definitely using this at some point, thank you.
