JiWire changed their business model since they found where money is
made (not in Wi-Fi security). They are far from being out of business.

In the context of this thread, I guess. I used jiwire's VPN service for
a few years, they sent an email informing me they were discontinuing the
consumer service, which was a shame, it was only $25 a year, if I remember.

Thanks. I didn't know that they had shut down the VPN service
(Hotspot Helper).

I got creative and setup my own VPN termination on an colocated
customers server. Lots of bandwidth but I don't use it much. I have
5 laptops and 2 PDA phones, but no time to use them at coffee shops
(except for troubleshooting). Sigh.

I haven't looked to see what else is available for VPN's:
<http://hotspotvpn.com>
<http://world-secure-channel.com>
<http://blacklogic.com>
<http://www.slickyproxy.com>
(plenty more...)
Prices run around $10/month. It appears that few care much about
wireless security, but are mostly interested in providing a proxy
server for anonymous surfing (used mostly to bypass access
restrictions).
