    I would only consider free to use VPN for my laptop accessing open wifi - even then I would not want to use open wifi for anything business - or dealing with secure logon access. I would say commercial VPN would be my only real choice.

    Most folks think VPN solves lots of security issues; nope - it pushes the security issue from the local ISP to the remote VPN servers.


    Now if I had my own VPN setup between my remote laptop and a specific server at home; now that would provide a good layer of security. I have seen folks use this to tunnel in from point A to point B so they could watch a blocked site like YouTube.
    If you are interested in a VPN to your house, I would suggest looking at https://pivpn.io/

    Cheap to get an RPI, easy to install/build, and it works great.
