Using public wifi - making it more secure? VPNs?

Vpn is the only safe way to use it sadly (mostly thanks to insufficient security on web sites/unsecured web mail etc.). Hence most av companies offer secure vpns as standard now.

What companies provide these services? I had a google, couldn't find anything

SSH tunnel to somewhere you trust perhaps?

How does that work?
i ssh (via putty), and change some setting so it acts as a proxy? then in firefox/etc i put 127.0.0.1 as the proxy?

is there any way to force it to go through a proxy (or something like a proxy) system wide? otherwise it means setting up mirc, msn, firefox, icq, chrome, outlook, etc etc with the proxy settings
