Many Thanks, Patrick Socha Very handy, though if I were to have FireFox on my USB key, and I went to an internet cafe (with a quick scan 86 viruses :S)would PuTTY need to be installed or could I just load FireFox from my USB and use it with no extra programs?

Many Thanks,

DNS traffic will still be looked up against the users local DNS servers in the plain, so if the users are hoping to not have certain sites relate to them, they should consider a real VPN solution which is capable of tunneling all IP traffic.
