[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 770693, member: 55987"] Yes you can but not the traditional desktop VPN service. Get a portable VPN device e.g. Keezel, InvizBox Go etc. It'll connect to the WiFi hotspot first. Once the connection is established you then connect your laptop to the portable VPN device. In short, you start your VPN first before connecting your laptop to the hotspot Wifi This 1) eliminates any chances of MITM attacks 2) eliminates any window time frame (can be a few seconds to minutes) between the connection of your laptop Wifi and the hotspot before your traditional desktop VPN service kicks in [/QUOTE]
