  The first two you can do nothing to prevent.

  You can usually avoid MITM attacks by using a VPN anytime you are away from a trusted internet connection.

    Also by using HTTPS everywhere and not clicking through warnings about a certificate being invalid.

      HTTPS isn’t secure against MITM attacks. That’s one of the reasons why it’s so nefarious.
