[OpenWireless Tech] Allow only open VPN traffic

[Natanael]

I started thinking about a new idea:
On port 80/433, the routers would only send the user to a VPN signup screen
with a list of VPN:s (fetched from a list hosted by someone who checks these
VPN companies for good privacy).
Would that work well? I think so.
On that page there could also be instructions for how to set up a VPN server
at home.
