Is a VPN a good method for protecting data in an untrusted network? [closed]
- by john
I will be connecting my laptop in an untrusted network. If I setup OpenVpn on a server and use a vpn client on the laptop to connect through it, is it enough? Can someone perform a MITM attack or otherwise eavesdrop on my traffic?
If someone on the local network port-scans my laptop, will the open ports be accessible to him while I use the VPN tunnel?
Is there anything else I should keep in mind?
