Wi Fi security
Hi folks If when using a campgrounds pass protected Wi Fi and doing something like bill paying, how secure is my information?

I'm telling you that it is extremely easy. The toughest part would be waiting for software to break the router's admin password. If you don't understand what I mean by "compromised router", then look it up or at least read the blurb I posted earlier. All you have to do is get in and change the default DNS settings or, if it is in the wee hours of the morning and you will have some time, you could load custom firmware onto the router.
I don't trust any public WIFI network and certainly not a little mom and pop campground enough to login to anything sensitive but that is because I know what can be done and understand the technology.
That would actually be an interesting 1st defense check when using an open router is just look at what DNS is being used.
I'm not running my ISP's DNS dejour either. Found it slow and inaccurate.
