PC or Mobile?
Most VPN companies have both a PC client and a Mobile client so you can protect yourself no matter what device connects to the questionable WiFi network. If you don’t connect to the free WiFi (at the coffee shop, the hotel, the healthcare provider, etc.) then your needs are much lower.
Recommendation
Which is best? Well, that’s up to how much you want to pay and what features matter to you. I’d recommend a “no logging” VPN that doesn’t have records so they have nothing to turn over to the feds when subpoenaed (your traffic remains private). Don’t use a free VPN service, those are suspicious.
There are a few articles that rank the best VPN but I won’t tell you which to select.
