Re: Open WiFi Access Point BCP's???
If you want to follow just one rule, it's this:- Instruct your users to never (I mean NEVER) use applications which run over unencrypted protocols. Security first.

Anyone have any recommendations for BCPs or software suggestions on running an open community-based access point (or network)? Think: an urban area where potentially lots of people could be popping on and off with little authentication. These seem to be pretty prevalent around Panera's and other things -- I just don't know what they are doing to manage (rather that prevent) P2P and Spam, etc uses. Pointers very appreciated!! Thanks, DJ

Abraços,
Indeed. If you know ahead of time unencrypted 802.11(whatever) is going to be used, *always* use a VPN or tunnel of some sort to secure your traffic (if the apps you'll be using have no native encryption).
You can visit the US-CERT website at http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/ for overview and recommendations on wireless.
