Want a Free VPN for Public WiFi Hotspots? | Chris Pirillo

HotSpot Shield is another free program that can be used on Mac or Windows machine. It's been reviewed by people on CNN and CNET, with good ratings. Think of a VPN as a shield that surrounds you and whatever you are wanting to connect to. If you're connecting to the Internet via an unsecured network, anyone can look at the packets of information you are sending out. What a program like HotSpot Shield does is to encrypt that data, so it cannot be seen and/or read by those would-be information stealers.

That doesnt have to be secure. The only connection that has to be secure is your PC to the VPN. After that it doesnt matter. The VPN will go get the data secure it and transfer it back to you. If there is a issue or a problem with the security then the VPN will be affected. Not you.

That is why it is secure. Cause at no point will the security breach reach you directly. It is basically like being behind your own personal gateway and router.
