A device having an encryption module in communication with first and second communication ports may facilitate connecting to an access network, without requiring a non-secure hard drive to initiate the network access. The encryption module may define a normal mode and a bypass mode. In normal mode, data from the first port may be sent encrypted to the second port, for communicating securely in an encrypted environment. In bypass mode, data from the first port may be sent unencrypted to the second port. The data being sent may be intercepted and presented to the user for approval in a human readable format. The user may confirm that the data is appropriate for being sent unencrypted. This data may be sent unencrypted in response to a request for information (e.g., an assent to terms and conditions) from the access network, such as at a hotel or public wireless hotspot, for example.
