Is it safe to leave the WLAN server (for WLAN/Wi-Fi Sync) when connected to an untrusted Wi-Fi?
As in title. I would like to know if I should disable the WLAN server when not at home, connected to my trusted home network. Should I disable when I am using my college Wi-Fi for example?
1Password Version: 6.5.3
_Extension Version: Not Provided
_OS Version: macOS Sierra 10.12.1
_Sync Type: mainly WLAN but I also use 1Password Account and Folder Sync. (depending on the Vault)

@Raffaello Alistair Rosselli Baslini: Thanks for reaching out. Great question! It isn't necessary to disable WLAN Server, even on an untrusted network. Your 1Password data is end-to-end encrypted, so 1Password simply doesn't depend on the sync service to protect your data. 1Password is secure by design, not by chance. And with WLAN Server in particular, it will not sync unless the desktop app is unlocked, and the mobile app has the correct secret. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
