To further expound on this, because I was a little too terse: While it is likely possible to circumvent an MitM attack through the clever use of tunneling, VPNs, Tor, etc., the fundamental issue is that you have been given an insecure internet connection. Someone decided to give you that insecure internet connection. That person is the problem. Remove them from a position of authority over your internet connection, and the problem goes away.
