Answer 1

The best security feature to always turn on when your laptop is connected to public Wi-Fi is a **Virtual Private Network (VPN)**. A VPN provides a secure tunnel for your internet traffic, encrypting your data and protecting it from potential eavesdroppers on the public network. While a firewall and anti-malware programs are also important, a VPN specifically helps secure your connection on public networks.
