Secure iPhone Browsing
If you’re a protection nut, browsing at a public hotspot can be like showering in a public bathroom. You might have no other option, depending on your circumstances, but you’re bound to feel a little creeped out and you’d probably rather have some flip flops on. Think of Hotspot Shield as flip-flops for your computer. And now for your iPhone, too.
AnchorFree’s Hotspot Shield for computers installs a client on your desktop or notebook that sets up a virtual private network, helping to ensure that you stay anonymous

Hotspot Shield for iPhone employs the same concept, minus the client, allowing you to browse securely from your mobile device.I’ve used Hotspot Shield with my MacBook before, and found little cause for complaint.
