Cloak, the drop-dead-simple VPN (virtual private network) service for securing your internet connection at public hot spots, is now out for iPhone and iPad.
This is one of my favorite new services in years. Since I work at home, I try to get out to coffee shops, and I travel a few times a year. But security on public hot spots is typically a joke, and VPN services have maintained their cruft and complexity from The Old Days.
Cloak fixes all that. Install it on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad, add your username and password, and flip a switch to encrypt your connection from prying eyes. On Mac, you can even tell Cloak to fire up automatically when you connect to any unknown networks. Wonderfully simple, comfortably secure.
Cloak offers a free plan so you can try it out with unlimited data that’s capped at two hours of usage per month. Paid plans start at $8 for 20GB of data per month and unlimited time. I’ve been beta testing Cloak for months and I can’t recommend it enough. If you care about keeping your online activity private while in public, you need Cloak.
For all you Rhianna lovers in NZ

Are normal VPNs really all that hard to set up? On OS X, you select L2TP/PPTP or IPSec, then enter hostname, username, and password. They’re hard to *debug* when they go kablooey, admittedly, but that doesn’t happen that often in my experience.
