    If you're just on the client side, then whatever the server/router/appliance runs. If you're setting things up on the server as well, OpenVPN. If you're using a router/appliance, the best it supports.

    I'm looking for something for my own use when I'm at WIFI hotspots.
    It's not a corporate machine.
