Sure, but it’s also like, if you’re stepping away from your laptop for a few minutes should you lock the screen or shut it down completely.

The most secure option is to shut it down completely, but also it’s fine to just lock your screen.

If you’ve already got a VPN and it’s as easy as locking your screen to enable, go for it, use it. But if you don’t, you don’t need to go out and get one. You’ll generally be ok without one.

The most secure option is bringing the laptop with you.

I mean, technically - the most secure option is irrevocably destroying the laptop everytime you have a break.

The most secure & economical option is to never go outside
