School, work, and public Wi-Fi

- Public Wi-Fi risks — what a café or hotel network can see, and what a VPN changes.
- Deep packet inspection — why a network can throttle or block you, and what encryption hides.
If NordVPN will not stay connected
- NordVPN connection timed out — network flush, app reset, protocol change, and when the server is the problem.
