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?

All the traffic between your phone and your, let’s say, bank app is encrypted anyway. It doesn’t matter. Only would matter if you were going to HTTP not HTTPS websites.
