Re: VPN
Nothing underhanded.
Just a bit more security at Coffee shop WIFI hotspots and some privacy protection at work.
If I need to respond to an email from my phone via WIFI, Sometimes I need to insure it is private.
Indeed.. I would prefer some sites I visit to not be known. No pron or illegal stuff.

Re: VPN
Yeah I mean your first step is NOT using *ANY* public wifi lol... Get 4G on Verizon and call it a day 
But I have my own private VPN back to my 1G fiber where the TBT server is housed...
Thanks!

Re: VPN
I understand about WLAN being the best choice, but that wont happen for me.
I am not getting 4g or 3g or 2g for that matter.
I can't afford the monthly expense. Especially when I am about to change jobs for probably less money. I'm not making much now. I don't even have cable TV.

Re: VPN
If Tor is Linux, it is not happening for me.
I am looking at FREE VPN. Any recommendations or experience?
Must run with Windows 7 and Android if possible.
I am not concerned with huge file transfers or blazing speed.
Just some level of security so I can type an email to a new job prospect or to my therapist without concern that my boss or someone else will intercept it.

Re: VPN
From what I have read Tor will mask your IP but does not have any encryption.
So if I understand Tor will prevent others across the room in the hotspot from knowing my IP or location, but they could still read everything I type.
---------------------------
copied from another page---
Tor provides anonymity and privacy by hiding where your Internet traffic is going and where it came from, but users must protect the security of their traffic by using encryption. ------------The point is that users who want to be safe need to be encrypting their traffic, whether they're using Tor or not.
