Search JiWire's registry of 233,916 free and pay Wi-Fi locations in 136 countries.
Security Note: Before accessing any wireless connection other than your secured [hopefully] home network consider installing the free software below. Warning: according to McAfee SiteAdvisor the free software below may try to change your web browsers home page, if so you can always change it back after the download & install.
Free security and privacy product ensures your anonymity while on-line.*
Public networks (both wired and wireless) are great. After all, what would life be without connecting while at airports, hotels and coffee shops? However, the danger to your personal data exists even if you connect to a fee based open network. Your passwords, credit card numbers, and any data you send can be seen and associated with you personally. Standard antivirus software won't protect you as this threat is on the network, not your laptop or iPhone.
That's why AnchorFree is pleased to offer Hotspot Shield. Our application keeps your Internet connection secure and anonymous on public networks.
100% Security Through a VPN
Hotspot Shield creates a virtual private network (VPN) between your laptop or iPhone and our Internet gateway. This impenetrable tunnel prevents snoopers and hackers from viewing your email, instant messages, credit card information or anything else you send over the network. Hotspot Shield security application is free to download, employs the latest VPN technology, and is easy to install and use. So go ahead - Get behind the Shield - Try Hotspot Shield today!
Hotspot Shield runs on:
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Mac OS X (10.5 Leopard)
Mac OS X (10.4 Tiger)

Tell me this please.....
Am I secure from the hotspot HOST? Meaning, if I am at the "23 Street Coffee" (name is fictional) coffee shop surfing using HotSpot Shield, am I secure against 23 Street's Coffee wifi that is supplying the wifi signal?
I am by no means an expert on wifi and never feel totally secure when signing on known and supposedly secure websites myself. I only occasionally sign on at public hotspots for that reason and usually try to seek out a McDonalds location because I feel slightly secure in the 'believe' that their system is set up by an IT guy who has moved on to set up another site and the sight I'm logging onto is automated and not directly monitored by some mischevous employee. In searching for the answer to some question or procedure [in this case the same question you ask] I post the information to this website for others seeking similar info because it may be useful not because I'm an expert on the subject. The best answer that I can give to your question is that it appears to me that the primary purpose of HotSpot Shield is to address the exact concern you have. To be safe I suggest you contact them at their site or use the KimKomando Link on this page to search out the answer. Good Luck, gdl
