How to Stay Safe on Public Wi-Fi Networks

• epochwolf 16y ago
  On OSX 10.6 (And maybe older versions?) just do this. System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall -> Advanced... -> Block all incoming connections And then start a vpn of your choice. I just open a terminal and type start_vpn which is an alias for sudo openvpn ~/.openvpn/client.conf :)

    any recommended VPNs? How much should one expect to pay for the service?

      Well, I installed openvpn on a vps I happen to have sitting around. If you're up to installing openvpn yourself head on over to rackspace and grab a 256mb vps. (Be prepared to spend a few hours reading some docs to set up openvpn.) http://www.rackspacecloud.com/cloud_hosting_products/servers/pricing http://www.rackspacecloud.com/cloud_hosting_products/servers...
