    VPN software is built in to most devices so I assume you need a server to VPN to

    Why do you need one?

    When I work at home I do. Cisco Anyconnect I think it is. Provided by employers so don't know much about it. Seems pretty good though.

    Just reread your post. It's probably not a freebie.

    Hotspot Shield is OK for occasional use, not sure how you'd use that on something other than a PC though. If it's something you are using very often though I'd consider paying for one.
