    Hi,
    Is there software for the AspireOne to make it harder for people to 'listen in' when using it in an open WiFi environment (like Hotels, Starbucks etc)? I've seen Lokkit mentioned, is that the one to use?

    A firewall is a good idea, but if you mean others "sniffing" your wireless data you need to be looking at other things.
    VPN, SSH, IPsec, tunneling, etc, etc, etc.
    "last mile" security....... reading material......(some dead links, sorry)
