My Free Fon was delivered yesterday, but i have only just got round to writing about it, as Rich says, it is quite good, I have now got three AP’s running in my house (with my Fon box being AP3)
Its Public AP i beleve runs in a VPN through your network to there servers, as such it totaly bypasses any of your network, making it imposible for a person conecting to it to get access to your network.
One anoying thing about them though, (reason that the Fon AP is not high on my prefered conection list) is that between the LAN port and its privert SSID is a Router, compleate with NAT and firewall, this stops me accessesing my own network in the open way i ushaly do.
Seth said yesterday that the One Year offer page had gone, and as such i dontated my invite to him. I think ben will be getting his soon, and then we should have a more technical autopsy of the free Router (including how to flash it and stop sharing your wi-fi).

I have mine already, and I’m waiting on a new exploit to be published for it. :)

According to their website it will take 3 weeks to get here, yet their US office is only 80 miles away from me in NYC. Yesterday was a holiday here anyway, so maybe I’ll see it by the end of the week!
