I agree that link encryption is a must in this day and age. I even go so far as to use a VPN on all my connections all the time, changing providers now and the as well. Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I feel that’s the way the world is heading with the cyber threats that are evolving...
You are not paranoid, I am the same 😂
Though I do not use VPN all the time, but I will do that most of the time. I even have 2 VPN providers that I switch around with
