I trust a free wifi hotspot to give me an IP (traffic will be protected by TLS), but not with the time. E. g. time from the past can be used to trick into accepting an expired TLS certificate. But for most wifi hotspots it will be unintentionally wrong because such devices often unmonitored and not maintained until they completely break.
