The question, exactly as 3,832 people saw it
If I have to work from a public space,…
I usually connect with my mobile hotspot37% I usually connect via the public wi-fi without a VPN (a Virtual Private Network)22% I usually connect via the public wi-fi with a VPN36% I never have to connect from a public space does not apply5% The full spread of answers, not just right and wrong. 5% answered "I never have to connect from a public space", which the scan treats as genuinely not applying to them, so those answers stay out of this question's score. That is why 3,639 people sit behind the figures elsewhere on this page. Everyone answered in their own language; the English wording is shown here.
What a participant was told
The feedback shown after answering, verbatim:
On open public wi-fi, others can see which sites you visit and can intercept anything not encrypted. Your mobile hotspot or a VPN closes that; open public wi-fi on its own does not.
The workgroup wrote these. Showing them beside the national result is how the questionnaire stays theirs.
