In my opinion, securing my wireless network isn't worth it. And I appreciate everyone else who keeps an open wireless network, including all the coffee shops, bars and libraries I have visited in the past, the Dayton International Airport where I started writing this and the Four Points Sheraton where I finished. You all make the world a better place.

Whenever I talk or write about my own security setup, the one thing that surprises people -- and attracts the most criticism -- is the fact that I run an open wireless network at home. There's no password. There's no encryption. Anyone with wireless capability who can see my network can use it to access the internet.

Michel BauwensI've heard several stories of people who have been rescued from connectivity emergencies by open wireless networks in the neighborhood. Similarly, I appreciate an open network when I am otherwise without bandwidth.

michel ranInteressant artikel over het gebruik van Open WiFi, zonder beveiliging. Toevallig staat het netwerk bij mij thuis al tijden open. Deels uit pure gemakzucht, praktische redenen en deel uit de vraag waarom??

Rene Clausen NielsenDel dog med andre: "To me, it's basic politeness. Providing internet access to guests is kind of like providing heat and electricity, or a hot cup of tea. But to some observers, it's both wrong and dangerous."

Shocking but well-considered advice.
