gistfile1.txt
When I'm on an open wifi network, I use an SSH tunnel to encrypt my traffic. Here's my script:
#!/bin/bash
ssh -D 9999 user@my-ssh-host.com "
echo '

Establishing ssh tunnel...
Now open
Firefox->
Preferences->
Advanced->
Network->
Connection->
Settings->
Manual->
SOCKS host->
localhost:9999
(And leave this window open!)
***

echo 'Press ENTER to terminate this tunnel'
