Missbehavior in creating wifi connection #35

Hello,

I am not sure if this was implemented intentionally or by mistake. But your code opens unwanted Open and unencrypted APs after wake up. I consider this as a potential security issue.

If it was made by design. Why?

To fix this issue you can add the following (or change partially the code)

Example: WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); WiFi.hostname(DEVICENAME); WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);

The WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); must be added before the WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);

Kind Regards
