Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Treat networks as insecure. Use secure protocols.

Repeating what others have said, and suggesting that this be your general rule in any event. Networks should be considered hostile. Secure your individual connections.

\r\n\r\n

Note that with WiFi you've got an additional concern over simple snooping. If you want to restrict unauthorized access to the service, you should consider options for doing this. Using authenticating proxies for external access, and firewalling off any protocols you don't explicitly want to support, should turn most of the trick.

New That's pretty much what the idea is, AFAIK.
Shut off every service except for VPN/SSH, use pregenerated key pairs for authentication (4096 bit keys? Longer?) and anybody who jumps on the network gets a connection that goes nowhere. If you have a key, you VPN to 192.168.0.1, and voila! you're internal again.
