4G is very vulnerable. They built in all sorts of features that allow tapping any connection anywhere on earth and the only protection is from people that don't know how to use them.

" . . .3. Use Public or Hotel Wi-Fi in Confidence
Most people are unaware of this, but that Starbucks hotspot and that 10-dollar-a-day hotel wi-fi is not safe for confidential email and browsing. Public wi-fi offers no encryption security to its users, and your signals are broadcast for anyone savvy enough to eavesdrop. It's very easy for even a junior hacker to intercept your unencrypted wi-fi signal using an Evil Twin phony hotspot or a Firefox Tamper Data plugin. Public wi-fi is terribly insecure, and is perhaps the biggest reason why mobile users should consider spending the 5 to 15 dollars per month for the safety of a VPN connection.

There are something to remember to secure wifi networks
Use an inconspicuous network name
Remember physical security
Use rogue-AP detection or wireless intrusion prevention

My first choice would be to use my VPN over the actual Hotel network.
Second choice would be to use my VPN over an xfinity wifi hotspot, if an adequate one is available.
Third choice would be to use my VPN mobile app with mobile phone to generate wifi hotspot; and connect laptop to hotspot while also going through VPN on the laptop.
Speaking of trading while connecting to public Wi-Fi, I highly advise using VPN while in the airport. You just NEVER know what public connection is out there but I'm pretty sure hackers target such location. Personally I use Unlocator VPN (features can be checked here) but there are options with higher encryption and those that can be used across multiple devices.
