I travel often and most hotels especially over seas have unencrypted (OPN) wireless available to their guests. I would like to create an encrypted tunnel from my laptop to my VPS. What is the preferred solution? OpenVPN, stunnel, ppp, ...
I would like my point of presence on the internet to be the IP address assigned to my VPSlink XEN server.
The principle things that I would like secured from wireless eavesdropping are: my DNS query/response, URLs, and my TCP end points.
I have run a second laptop with airodump-ng at home and a open wireless AP. I can see all of my non-SSL web content, my DNS look ups, and can identify the IP addresses of the SSH servers I am logged onto.
I have a XEN VPS, and I prefer provisioning in Debian but can use any flavor of linux. My travel laptop is dual boot Windows XP, or Ubuntu, so I could run any client. I would prefer to use a linux client.
