Hide My Ass VPN on sale

Also, you're still sharing the LAN with everybody else in the hotel, whether you're connecting with a cable or wirelessly. A VPN is essential! (My new ASUS router offers a VPN server as a feature, so I usually use it when I'm in hotels or other public networks.)

HMA is UK based and has no telephone support which is typical of VPN providers.
VyprVPN is Swiss based and enjoys the strict privacy philosophy of the Swiss.
PIA (privateinternetaccess) is US based which can be good or bad depending on your priorities, personal philosophy of privacy and internet behavior. The NSA pretty much trumps any guarantee of privacy these days no matter where you or your provider are located but there are some legal rights available under US law that you would not enjoy with a non-US provider.
I've been meaning to sign up for VPN for a while and after reading this thread did some research and decided on PIA. Bottom line is I think it provides the best bang for the buck. Only drawback is no free trial or money back guarantee, but for $40/yr who cares.

I use Witopia. It is automatic. It starts when it senses your internet connection. I would guess that most VPNs have an automatic feature.
