I sometimes make use of wireless internet connections at airports, cafes, universities, offices, etc. which are, most of the time, unsecured/unencrypted.
Some of these locations, such as universities and offices, are private in that they assign me a user name and password which grant me access to their connections. However, although these connections require authorization, they are not, as IT departments have informed me, encrypted.
Thus, I would like a simple, user-friendly way to encrypt my sessions - preferably using WPA and not WEP - while using wireless internet connections in public. A programs which requires little configuration and is universal, i.e., works with many connection types and configurations, is ideal.
Thank you in advance.
