How to connect to public wireless, securely?

When you connected to unsecured public wireless, you may transmit sensitive information such as your e-mail user name and password or other important information to non protected websites addressed (non-https sites). Someone (cracker) who also connected with the same access point to this unsecured public wireless, may gain access to this information. A VPN (virtual private network) connection can protect your internet connection from this issue. I use Little TunnelBear VPN  service to secure my internet connection, when connect to unsecured public wireless. Since this is a free VPN service, the data transfer amount limited up to 500MB per month. For me it is enough. I found this free VPN service is the most easy one to use and no pop-up or advertising. If you satisfy with this free VPN service and need more data capacity, then you can subscribe to a pay service.
