Interesting question! Definitely be cautious. Public Wi-Fi can be vulnerable. Consider using a VPN for encryption when transmitting sensitive documents. Also, ensure your online fax service uses TLS or similar security protocols. Granny always said, "Better safe than sorry!" when dealing with important information. Good luck!
As a freelance professional who frequently works remotely, I've definitely experienced concerns about Wi-Fi security when sending sensitive documents. While online fax services have encryption protocols, public networks can still pose potential risks. I recommend using a VPN and ensuring the fax service uses HTTPS to minimize vulnerabilities. Always verify the security settings of your chosen platform and avoid sending highly confidential information in unsecured environments.

Hi! Public Wi-Fi is definitely less secure, but a strong fax provider will encrypt transmissions end-to-end, making interception nearly impossible. It’s also smart to use a VPN alongside your fax service for added safety.
