Environment: Tested with router's standard config on 01/04/07. Runs smoothly with NSTX (http://nstx.dereference.de/nstx/ Version 1.1-beta6) and an ssh-session for connection testing without any authentication via the FON captive portal.
Any smart user can get around most silly blocks, what is so special about this. This is the same deal used for getting around a large majority of 'firewalls' and of course most airport hotspots and most other places where geek people need connectivity and don't want to bother getting a silly registration card for it or pulling their visa card number from that text file they keep somewhere. Nothing new there... except that maybe these things where supposed to be really closed per default and in other cases the administrator of the box is just not doing his job correctly as the tools provided don't allow him to ;) Greets, Jeroen
