Running a VPN over wireless connections is considered one of the best ways to secure them. You are definitely on the right track. There are several VPN programs for Linux - probably the most popular (though perhaps not the easiest to install) is FreeS/WAN. Other options include OpenVPN, Vtun, and Vpnd. Take a look and see which one best meets your needs. Adam
