Not sure if I used the correct terms but what is the difference in security and privacy between downloading from a public wifi (or a closed wifi; with password) and mobile hotspot (sharing 4G/5G data from your phone to your computer)? Which one is recommended or does it not matter?
Yeah absolutely if he’s downloading Linux ISOs, just use a VPN and you’ll be fine 99% of the time. TOR if he is doing anything else surrupticiaous. 😬
