I haven't been following the VPN discussion that closely but I did
stumble upon this article talking about fake VPN services:

Jump by header once to get to the actual article, which is just a
summary with links to a couple web pages.

Nancy,
I have lots of experience using HotSpot Shield on both my Mac and
iPhone. Works like a charm. Give them a look and if you have any
additional questions feel free to contact me off-list:

Scott,
Thanks very much for the info. I am asking because our IT people want
to set up a VPN because of the nature of the things I do at work. So
you are saying that this would most likely be voiceover friendly and
easy for me to use? I understand basically what it is. I'm just not
sure if it will work with voiceover.
Thanks

Hi Nancy, let me give you a bit of background.
VPN stands for virtual private network. Basically what it means is
there can be network resources or services you want to get to
privately and securely. Another use, your use most likely, is you
want to secure the communication from your device to a wired secure
destination where someone in the middle can’t grab your information
on the way by. Say you were at a public WiFi point and you didn’t
use a VPN. It’s possible for example with my computer I could be
sitting a table over from you and grab your name / password and over
time more and more critical data as you use your computer not even
knowing what I’m up to. So a VPN encrypts that data and makes it
impossible for me to intercept. That’s very important for public WiFi.
They are very easy to use. A client is installed on your computer
and you activate it by clicking connect on a panel or at most
entering in a name and password. If you use keys you may hit
connect only and not need anything more than that. In other cases
you can have them automatically connect once booted. It’s up to the
user. Typically they are quite accessible on most platforms,
options range from free on up and it’s a matter of installing software.
There are other types of VPNs and all sorts of configurations, I’m
going to leave them out for now as to not confuse you worse then I
may have already. Let me know if you have any questions.
