Find yourself a VPN provider. Preferably outside your country (if you can) and test a few out before you sign up. There are a few providers out there and quite a few articles (here, here and here for example). I host an OpenVPN server at my business for my personal use but that's not necessarily for preventing tracking or privacy, just mainly to access my hosts remotely.

 
I used TunnelBear on my laptop when I was staying at a hotel on business recently. Worked like a charm, and it's free for the basic version (provides 500MB data per month) so you can try it for a while first or just always run it for free if 500MB/month is enough for your needs. If you need unlimited data transfer, you can pay $7.99 on a monthly basis, or $49.99 for a whole year unlimited data (works out to $4.16/month). Winning.

Thanks to the people that did reply to my question. I guess the lot of you don't want to admit you use vpn? I was hoping to see a lot of replies stating what you use and why. but the little info I got helped out. but still looking for more input if anyone wants to chime in.
I mean come on this is a gaming community with pc builders. I'd be surprised if there were less then 30% of you that didn't have a vpn lol

I don't use TunnelBear at home, it was just for when I was using my personal laptop on an insecure hotel WiFi connection. For work use at home, it's either Citrix on the desktop for my Mrs (her work provides it) and a VPN service on my work laptop but I can't recall what service it is...
