In the meantime, virtually all data are transmitted encrypted via TLS, so you can’t really start a lot, you can analyse at most where the data go but don’t read the data yourself.

Why should key presses go over the network? Think about it, too, that it would be crawling.

That. Access to a wlan or an open wlan is no longer as critical as before. The biggest risk would be more likely to be your friends/recognition e.g. Illegal filesharing is of course the mail to the connection owner, even if it is not liable for others, it is of course annoying.

Of course, if you do stupid things like giving folders for your pc free for the local network, you can see them of course. Something like that happens, but that’s your own failure.

No, that’s not a problem in general.

could he read my passwords?

Not if the page on which you enter your password has done your homework.

or keys that I press?

No, your friend would have to install a keylogger.

Internet pages that I access?

Yeah.

what can someone I give my WLAN password (e.g. girlfriend/friend) read everything?

  1. With which servers you connect
  2. In the case of unencrypted connections also the content of the transmission.

Happiness has now prevailed across the board.

But even this already presupposes some criminal energy, just that doesn’t happen.

Then you could only see that you connect to a VPN… but you could just refer friends to the guest WLAN.

As long as you use websites that use https, other users in WLAN cannot read your passwords. Pretty much any site that uses passwords nowadays uses https. Unencrypted websites are becoming increasingly rare.

However, there are always some metadata (e.g. data volumes, visited websites/target hostes, DNS requests etc.) that can also be read in encrypted connections. These metadata may be used to make some assumptions, for example about which devices you use when you are active or what your interests are.

Therefore, it may make sense to encrypt the traffic additionally via a VPN if people are in the WLAN that you do not want to trust 100%.

If you have enough computer knowledge, you can filter and monitor all internet traffic from your phone or laptop or desktop PC or a specific device.

My brother programes websites and if I have problems he fixes my computer before I have noticed anything at all.

My brother lives 800 km away from me.

Normally, everything is not going, because that would be criminal.

Nothing – with Password is what goes through the WLAN encrypted.

You need access to the router. Or you have to play-in-the-middle, so that your complete traffic runs over their computer.

Then you would use their Wi-Fi, not yours.

In order to access the router directly, you usually need an administrative word.
