And for that a VPN secures that part of the connection....

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

    I think today most of routers support virtual networks such as guest
    networks so i think it's the most safe option. By configuring your
    router like this, you separate your network from other clients so
    they can't use attacks like mitm.

        I'm not an expert on this but was wondering if enforcing a VPN
        type solution to encrypt all traffic after joining an open
        wireless connection can give an additional layer of security
        while accessing sites not on SSL.

        Thoughts?

            You should not rely on the network providing security, that
            never really
            works. 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.

            will the hackers see what I'm doing, or who I am, or get my
            password while I'm logging in a website? As the information
            are transferring without encoding..
