wireless network with packets designed to turn off FireSheep "

Firesheep works because many web sites do not use the more secure HTTPS, which makes individual sessions secure even over public networks.

Some people have had mixed results >> Hotspot Shield
It has been around a long time. PC and the MAC .
Third-party advertisements may show up in the free version.
Cheap security for that.

:::::::::
" If you are looking for a free solution, consider Hotspot Shield from Anchor Free. This service routes your network traffic through its servers, encrypting it all the way. But keep in mind that "free" software solutions are rarely truly "free." Anchor Free makes its money by delivering advertisements to the users of their service.
What I like about Hotspot Shield is that it is truly easy to use. If you are not tech savvy and are looking for a solution that is easy to deploy and doesn't take money directly from you, then it is the way to go.
If you are a VPN purist or you just don't want to support something that is advertising-driven, you should look at services like Anonymizer or PublicVPN.com. Anonymizer is easy to implement but rather expensive, while PublicVPN.com has more reasonable rates but is harder to get going for the less technically proficient. "
