Right, but I think the question is about making those guest networks secure for users using the open connections.

By configuring your router like this, you separate your network from other clients so they can't use attacks like mitm.

Instead you should rely on end-to-end security, like using HTTPS, TLS etc. If you have privacy concerns, then you should use Tor. Do you ever use any open wifi? If the answer is yes, then you are already exposed to the risks, so you should then use proven techniques to improve security and privacy, instead of hoping the network is. .hc Weeez: > If I set my network as an open one, is it safe enough?? will the hackers see what I'm doing, or who I am, or get my password while I'm logging in a website?
