I am pretty new to being mobile with my computer and was just wondering what your stand is on using unsecured home networks when you are on the road.
I have a wireless lan at home but it is secured, many wifi-routers come unsecured out of the box (ease of installation I guess). Many people who are not so tech-minded seem to think "hey it works" and forget the rest of the setup.
Do you take advantage of this?
Can it sometimes be hard to tell the difference between a genuine free network (like in hotels, cafes etc) and someone who just did not set it up correctly?
What´s your take?
