I kinda don’t trust my home network because my brother is douche and I feel like he’s gonna do some weird things with the connection, so I prefer to juse use my phone’s data (unlimited data plan) to avoid any shenanigans. Hypothetically, how much harm can an evil wifi do?

Does using HTTPS avoid all risks? What about evey program on your computer or every app on your phone, do they also have HTTPS everywhere on? (I use Android btw)

How much could a VPN do better that HTTPS cant?

    Oh, yeah you’re absolutely correct. I was fixated too much on the DNS logging lol

    DoH (DNS over HTTPS) or DoT (DNS over TLS) would fix that

      Actually no. The SNI is still not encrypted. So every site you are visiting can still be sniffed.

        This is resolved in TLS 1.3 with ECH. Adoption is still not wide though, so your concern is valid.

          Was not aware ECH was actually in TLS 1.3 thanks for that. But yes it will take a long time for widespread adoption.
