I'm wondering which method to share your internet connection with others (on/to a GOS device) would be best, or where the respecive advantages/disadvantages lie.
I'm pretty sure that generally, USB and Ethernet are most secure, private as well as fastest, but I'd like to always keep my USB-C port set to "charging only", so I can only use Wi-Fi hotspot and Bluetooth. I know almost nothing about how sharing Internet via Bluetooth works and differs from a traditional hotspot, so I wonder how they compare.
Let's assume a best case scenario for the WiFi hotspot, which to my knowledge would be using WPA3-Personal, a strong & randomly generated password and a somewhat generic SSID (possibly with "_nomap" added at the end). Depending on hiw far the devices are apart, 2,4 GHz, 5 GHz or 6 GHz are used.
Fields of comparison I can think of:
- Useability: speed; stability; area coverage; multiple connections
- Security: How hard is it to attack the network and gain access; how dangerous would a malicious/compromised device be on the providing or receiving end respectively
- Privacy: Is there a difference in the trackability while running around with one of these enabled; is there something similar to "_nomap" for Bluetooth and is it recommendable
Ideally I'd be interested in a general discussion about this, not necessarily just specific to my use case. If you have interesting info on USB/Ethernet or advice on how to use any of them, feel free to share that as well:)
