Hi all, I've been a hotspotvpn customer for some time and they sent me this message. I thought you'd like to see it. It's about a battery powered hardware firewall device for customers which can connect to a wifi hotspot access point, automatically bring up your vpn through your account, and provide you with a personal secure wifi link to the vpn. Of course, you can bring up the vpn using only software, but the hardware makes things more convenient. I don't know how the login procedure to the hotspot works, if you have to accept terms and conditions or something. The device costs about $ 100 for their best one, and the vpn service is about $ 100 / year. They also have an older model, which uses a wired connection to your laptop and a wireless connection to the hotspot available for free. Of course, you still have to pay for the vpn service. I don't know if I'll buy one, but these look pretty cool and I thought I'd pass it along.

Since you are a current or past customer you qualify for early access and a nice discount on our new and improved Tiny Hardware Firewall Internet security devices. They are faster, smaller, and you no longer need to travel with a laptop to use them. Just your phone or tablet will do. You can now have a self powered, malware blocking, 256bit VPN capable hardware firewall running in your pocket, protecting your phone, tablet, laptop, and maybe a friend. As usual there is no software to install or configure, each unit comes tested and ready to plug and play. It works with wired or wireless Internet connections. Each Tiny Hardware Firewall (THF) can protect up to four devices at once. We will just touch on some of the new features here: 1. Dual Radio Mode. The THF can be locked in "dual wifi" mode where one wifi radio is your personal access point and the other is the firewall's client to the public network. The THF stands between the untrusted network and you. 2. Three of the four new models provide 5, 10 and 30 hours of run time using internal batteries. You can also use them to charge your phone or tablet in a pinch. These belong in every road warrior bag. 3. These new units can encrypt and decrypt at twice the rate of the original THF. 4. We have lowered the VPN subscription price to 25 cents/day, or 6.25 cents per day per device. For more information please visit the new website at: TinyHardwareFirewall (-dot-) --com-- Thank you. The HotSpotVPN team Notes: Coupon Code: Please use the code thfwbyfeb10 at checkout to receive a 15% discount on your purchase. The coupon will expire on feb 11, 2014. Restrictions: Due to US Law and the strong encryption in the device we can only sell the THF in the US. Additionally we can only ship to US or APO/FPO addresses. -- Sent from my Android Acer A500 tablet with bluetooth keyboard and K-9 Mail.

I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and such. I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
