    You can't until after you are connected.
    Using a VPn will prevent 3rd parties watching Your traffic but you still have the issue of initial connection.

    However if you have personal access details to the hotspot (email/pass) I would use a single use account for that.

    I'm confused. Your pic shows a http packet and your question is about hotspots..

    Http -- tls
    hotspots - industrial wpa2 [w/ certs]
    public hotspots - why bother.. It's a fucking jungle, let them slay each other

    @netikras this one uses http . so you can sniff everything.

    WPA2 Enterprise...
    Unfortunately a but 'hard' to setup (client & AP) and many things can still go wrong.

    @R1100 You mean HTTP for that 'please login after connecting' captive portal?
    TLS/HTTPS would be better, but attackers could still perform a downgrade attack (as the captive portal is opened as the router redirects an unencrypted page view / connection check).

    @dudeking 1.1.1.1 is only a DNS supporting dnssec, it has nothing to do with the data transmitted between you and the server.

    Also, a VPN would only encrypt the traffic between you and the VPN server. But if the remote server (of the resource you're connecting to doesn't use https or another secure method of transmission, any data from the VPN to the remote will still be unencrypted and visible to anyone in the middle.

    ssh -D to the rescue, if you have a server
