    I used to call my mobile hotspot virus.exe to prevent strangers trying to connect. Do the same with bluetooth devices that broadcast (like my tv). Neighbors stopped trying to connect after it was called virus.exe

      My first wifi network post-college was “viruses_and_goat_porn”.

      It still didn’t stop free loaders….but in their defense, there were no viruses. 👀🐐
