[H] VPN

[Winterlight]

Using a VPN to protect yourself when using public WAP involves 
logging into the public WAP, and then using a VPN from your PC to 
your home or work PC and then using that safe internet connection. 
Everything in between your laptop and your home PC is encrypted so 
nobody can snoop. Do I have it right?

Is there good VPN freeware available? If not what is good VPN software? Thanks.
