Yet another way to prevent eavesdropping on WiFi
Glenn Fleishmann's wonderful Wi-Fi Networking News mentioned another service to protect your data when you're at a coffee shop.
Publicvpn.com, like competitor hotspotvpn.com, offers a virtual private network for rent. Your Internet traffic goes to their machines on a scrambled connection, then they descramble it and send it on to wherever it was going. They charge $6/month or $60/year.
They have instructions for setting up both Windows machines and Macintoshes. Theoretically other operating systems should work but they don't give detailed support.
