Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice about security via connecting to a wifi hotspot. I have already searched around and read about openVPN to secure my network traffic while using open wifi. That is where my problem begins. I am a windows user and comming from windows I prefer to use something with a GUI. I find using the command line or writing scripts to accomplish tasks highly annoying. I am an end user not a programmer. So I got to thinking is there any GUI solution being developed for my beloved new N800 to setup a secure VPN session to encrypt my network traffic. I was thinking of something along the lines of Jiwire hotspot helper. I know that openVPN is what a lot of people have setup but after reading thru some of the instructions I felt a bit overwhelmed with trying to configure it. Also I do not want to leave my home PC running while I am away. I have zero knowledge with linux and any linux commands, so reading the minty fresh blog instructions left me feeling a bit dumb for not understanding what is being done. I would just like to know if there is an alternative solution for those of use that are clueless.
