No problem, here a video (the "fun" side) :

I haven't choose that :(
But as i say, it's a temporary solution

Can you point me to something specific? I see things about spoofing some
other site's certificate and some things about specific implementations
being subject to man-in-the-middle attacks but nothing that looks like a
generic weakness. If you are concerned about your service provider (who
would have the best opportunity to arrange a man-in-the-middle connection),
maybe you should use someone else - or a service that lets you run your own
system images where you could set up a blowfish-based vpn.
