Editorial Review of Hotspot Shield

Feeling safe when you connect to a hot spot at cafe, airport, or some other public location? You shouldn't. There are plenty of potential dangers lurking there, including nearby hackers who may try to sniff your packets, or figure out other ways to snoop at what you're doing online. Particularly dangerous is if you visit any Web sites and type in your user name and password--they could be hijacked.

Freebie Hotspot Shield promises to solve the problem. It claims to encrypt all of your data and packets while you're in a public location, shielding you from any danger. The program is simplicity itself: Install it, run it, and it claims to protect you.

Bear a few things in mind about Hotspot Shield. When you install it, make sure to decline the extra toolbars. They're annoying, and Hotspot Shield works fine without it. And if you don't want your home page and search engine to be changed, uncheck those options as well.

Pretty much saying they can't get into your shit.

Or you could go the foxyproxy route.

Download Firefox
Install the addon called foxy proxy
FoxyProxy
Here is the webpage about foxyproxy
It has a video telling you how to use it.


What a proxy does is basically change your IP address to something else.
Though a lot of times people can tell you're at least using a proxy.

i prefer to use TOR. there is a preconfigured bundle with a portable firefox that you can download. its really easy to use and requires 0 configuration
