You need to run a VPN on top of the wireless connection. This will give you a secure tunnel from your computer through to the VPN server. See a good tutorial at www.cites.uiuc.edu/vpn/security.html You can buy VPN as a service from various providers for about $12/month. To mention one: www.hotspotvpn.com. (This is just an example, I have not used this service.) Has anyone been using such a service? Any good/bad points to report? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
