Also have those tunnels configured on ALL the devices you intend to use, and have it tested. That includes your Laptops, phones, tablets, servers, fridge, etc.
### Phones
It is not recommended to connect your smartphone to the congress wifi, if you still can't resist, here are a few things to consider:
- make sure that it's **not a 802.11b** device, as it would slow down the complete wifi network.
- disable all synchronization services, as they might be using plaintext
- disable all auto-discovery services (network music players, remote control apps, etc...)
- make sure there are no known exploits for your device
- update your apps, especially your browser
- use a VPN tunnel if possible
- use a Firewall and only allow the (few) services you trust.
- DroidWall[20] for Android (root required)
**If you are unsure** that there might still be some services running and transmitting plaintext data, **do not connect**.
