Yeah the being asked for an email or phone for free wifi option is completely different from the “I can MITM all your web requests” which is what needs a VPN.
I usually give a fake email or phone number to get free wifi anyway.
[email protected] tends to work but I’ve sometimes had portals give refuse that as a “fake”, same with [email protected]. [email protected] is my fallback.
