Ah, so easy! Only 28 steps filled with remote Linux shell commands, certificate creation, and downloaded software! I'm sure that's exactly what his wife wanted to hear when she asked how to avoid being Firesheeped. Whatever happened to good old ssh -ND ? Wouldn't that solve 90% of most casual hotspot users' problems ? And I'd be wary suggesting even that one-liner to someone who isn't a techie, which I'm assuming his wife isn't since she asked the question.

> Whatever happened to good old ssh -ND ? YouTube doesn't work. Also, it's not a one-liner on a Windows client. OpenVPN is really, really easy to use once someone set it up for you. Two clicks and you're connected.

  Works for me. ssh as a SOCKS proxy, Firefox uses it, Flash uses it. about:config set network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true.
