If your home wi-fi is secure, then all is good. Wouldn't hurt to get a VPN and use private search on any browser you are using. My two cents...good luck.

That's a pretty solid trail that might or might not bother you depending on your personal situation.
So I bought my hobby phone today. Should I use my home wi-fi to connect with eccie? Security risk or not?
