  1. Free software for this purpose? on Getting Around the 128-bit WEP Failure? · · Score: 3
    I think all of us agree that WEP isn't secure enough to be used as an only encryption method. So that's not the case.

    Is there any free software available for Windows-platforms to handle the encryption? I think that a SSH tunnel would be a nice way to securely read email, transfer files, etc, but the problem is that I haven't found any free and working SSH client for Windows that supports tunneling.

    SSH Secure Shell for Windows is very good and free for private/educational use, but it leaks memory when closing a tunnel, thus local tunnel can be used only certain amount of times until the client hangs. This is very annoying, one can't check POP mail continually because the client hangs in short time.
