This is a common problem for many people who use public Wi-Fi. 📶 Often, these locations impose restrictions on VPNs to control network usage or protect their infrastructure.
While it’s a challenge, there are ways to try. 🔐 VPNs with “obfuscation” technology can bypass these restrictions. Also, using a personal hotspot or mobile data is a safe alternative.
