I'm in two minds.

A lot of people say avoid Free WiFi, but it is a risk based thing, I
think it is useful and the risks usually quite small.

OpenVPN is well tested. Are you providing the server end?

Playing nicely with VMs is easy, just route all outbound over the VPN,
and their traffic should go that way too - but always check.
