Really, we've all been spoiled by credit cards. Checks, money orders, wire transfers, and even cash, all still work.

And while I'm not aware of a properly turn-key solution for a VPN server, it should hardly be an epic undertaking to create one. Setting up a Linode account and running a StackScript is simple enough even for mostly-clueless people.

Using sshuttle[1] you don't even need to setup a VPN, just get a VPS and run a simple command on your client machine to connect.

You could always connect to a Lahana[1] node for emergency situations. It's not as quick as a normal VPN and you shouldn't run a torrent client through it, but it works.
