Get Free WiFi by tunneling through DNS and gaming optimiz...

Tired of paying $9.95 an hour for WiFi at the airport? Can you resolve DNS? We head down to Mubix' lair and build a SSH SOCKS proxy over a DNS tunnel. Then we speak with Tyler McAdams from LinuxDNA about kernel optimizations and the future of gaming on Linux.

OK seriously before anybody is going to try the "free WiFi hotspot"-thingy out (which is primarily just a custom DNS server and a proxy server) Needs to know this:

If the administrator of the hotspot has limited the internet access to a single ip address(or a specific range eg. the hotspots payserver and such) then this has no use at all... Most of the time it is the case and you wont be able to circumvent it this way.

interesting. i haven't seen that technique employed. do you have any further information on that?

He definitely knew what he was doing, it is hard to explain anything about DNS in less than 10 minutes, let alone show a bunch of n00bs how to circumvent wifi logins. He tried to make something clear in the end about security, that was the part that is unclear. Give him some credit for at least attempting...

@BKaiii Yeah. You need to go to domain manager and at the bottom left you'll see a little link for add host. You'll have to add there ns1 and ns2 first and wait for them to be processed. Once they are processed you'll be able to set them as nameservers.

@srki80 I got this same error.. did you get yours working?

[srki80]

When I try to change NS in GoDaddy control panel to my dyndns host I get "Nameserver not registered." . Any ideas on why is that? Is there anything I should enable in dyndns account settings?

Okay, can someone please explain to me in a pm or what have you how you can portfoward a router which you don't have Admin access too? I see how you can do this if you have the Info for your own private, local router. But this seems usefless in a hotel sitaution... PLEASE RESOIND TO THIS.
