And here's another reason why I like my VPN when using public Wi-Fi: In an interesting blog post over at Justinsomnia the author describes how he recently accessed his own web site via a hotel's Wi-Fi and realizing something was odd about the page. First believing some malware had infected his site, further investigation revealed that it was JavaScript code for ad-purposes being inserted in web pages by the hotel's Wi-Fi ISP.
