Until the setup and functionality are automagic, we're not going to see 
broad use of VPNs by non-specialists.

VPN functionality is built into pretty much every mainstream (and many 
non-mainstream) OS out there, including mobile devices.  But it isn't 
something that's simple; users have to at a minimum install and accept a 
VPN profile, which means they have to go looking for a service in the 
first place.

I'm wondering if perhaps major OS vendors/developers may start 
offering/OEMing VPN services, or at least distributing profiles in the 
same way as browser vendors/developers distribute CA certs?
