If your laptop runs a Linux version built with version 5.6.0 or 5.6.1 of the xz compression library, not having a firewall between your machine and an attacker's machine to close access to the laptop's SSHD port once you connect to the public WiFi could lead to your laptop being compromised.I would stand in the middle of Times Square logging into my Vanguard account on public wifi with zero worry that doing so risks someone hacking my account.
