Man that page looks fraudulent. Doesn't even mention what kind of "VPN" is used other than it is supposedly "open". So, what client can I use? Which devices or operating systems does it support?
Not even the FAQ addresses any of it.
And with all that one is expected to trust ones key to that site? (the way the page is setup I guess the target audience can not even be expected to know what a "key" is, or why they would even need to trust that site even if they did use it)
At the very bottom, in the fine-print, there is a link to a blog post. Great. Start with that! Move the whole page to the bottom of the blog post. "But that will hurt adoptability". GREAT! No one in the in their right mind should be "securing their internets with some cloud thing that some dude recommended" in under 30 seconds anyway.
This is only encouraging people being gullible which is kind of ironic since the aim seems to be to help people not trusting public wifi.

Journalists are not going to have any idea how to build a box, ssh in, run a script, etc. We later changed the copy to be related to DEF CON, to keep it current, but yeah.
