Slightly OT: Can someone elaborate on "Do not share Wifi"? What can be problematic when using a shared but encrypted (say, WPA2 with pre-shared key) Wifi?
This is a common setup in public places like cafes. I've always wondered in what ways this can cause problems.
- finaliteration 9y agoI think they meant, “don’t have internal and guest WiFi connections use the same subnet”. If you’re giving non-employees passwords and access to a network that contains sensitive resources that’s a big security red flag. Many companies also use IP whitelisting for external services/systems, so if someone from outside the company joins an internal network they now have access to them as well. Edit: Actually, they point out those exact reasons if you expand that entry in the list.
