vpn services


My top priority is documenting cool stuff. My second priority is learning to blog from hot spots. After a good hour spent looking over Yahoo! search results for hot spot security topics, I've found this very cool looking site. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. It encrypts your web surfing session, so no-one can intrude on what you're doing, for example I'm worried someone could hijack my Blogger interface. (The session is encrypted to and from the vpn servers, from whence it is transmitted to and from the web in decrypted form.)
I'm intrigued to find myself part of the world wide free speach movement, even though that's not my personal issue. This site is so cool looking I'm quite inclined to trust it. Of course, you might not agree that's a good reason to trust something ... and I too want to know a lot more ... which I suppose I'll be working on. And, another note, if you're a tourist in a foreign land that controls internet access for political reasons, please be very careful if you are thinking about using this kind of software. Don't get arrested!
Here's an article about this product, and another very cool looking site, to boot.
By the way, there are other free vpn services, and, seemingly, ones you pay for, too, and some of them even look really or sort of cool ...
Also by the way, what does this have to do with urbanism? It's about reporting on cities.
