    What’s the security benefit for banking on mobile?

    Ah ok so the consensus is to be wary of public networks especially free open networks as they can be spoofed and a MitM or traffic sniffing.

    So it’s good I have my wireguard vpn on all the time calling home to my home network then I assume.

      I think everyone is forgetting that there’s TLS on almost every website. You can monitor where people go, but you can’t see the traffic unless you get the person to install a malicious certificate in their device.

      You can however have your traffic redirected to a lookalike site where you give up your account info. So there’s still some actual risk.
