I keep hearing on VPN ads that you have to use a VPN to not have your login information stolen. So far I have been using Cloudflare WARP to be safe enough. However, if I am using an HTTPS website, do I really need a VPN or WARP? Will an attacker on the same network as me be able to access passwords transmitted over HTTPS?
If I’m on the same network, it is possible to have a MITM attack and resolve the content of the SSL cert.
Resolve the content of the SSL cert? Sounds like something the CSI writers would say…
No, SSL is actually very good in preventing MITM attacks. That’s what alle the CAs are for you trust on your device.

You can ARP spoof a network and also serve spoofed certs resulting in the ability to resolve them. But I can see, if your not an expert, it’s hard to see the difference between reality and Navy CIS
