Google VPN
Google has released another new product which is called Google Secure Access. ("GSA") Essentially it is a PPTP VPN to the Google servers. The purpose of GSA is to secure your WiFi access if you were using WiFi in an airport or some other hotspot.
I have found a nice nefarious use for this tool that I am sure people will soon realise. Use the Google VPN to connect to the Internet and bypass your company's content filtering solution. Another good reason to have your outbound firewall rules as tight as your inbound rules.
