Re: Just out of curiousity....
I do a lot of freelance work from home, and I've used AirVPN for the last 3 years as a SOHO solution and have had no issues with them. I have it configured as a service on my office router so everything on the network behind it benefits from it - whether it needs to or not.
They are not the biggest, fastest or "noisiest" in terms of advertising. But the fact that it was set up by a group of European journalists to protect their own communications in the face of ever intrusive surveillance tells me they are in it for the right reasons.
Whatever you do though, don't use or sign up to a free VPN service - they have to make their money somehow, so have a guess how they do it? Also, I'd advise against using any browsers that claim to have a built in VPN such as Opera - as they are not a true VPNs as I understand them to be.
Best of luck.
