Tunneling / Vpn

[cclymer at gmail.com (Chris Clymer)]

OpenVPN is a great choice for this, as its an SSL VPN. Set it up to  
listen on port 443 if you can and you will have a high likelyhood of  
making it out of any public network on the road.  Its not uncommon for  
hotels to blick a lot, but SSL over 443 is pretty much a requirement ;)

If you really want to get sneaky, tunnel over port 53(DNS) as well.   
Some places wont allow it, but same hotel/coffee shop networks will  
allow users to make external DNS queries before theyve registered at  
the captive portal page.

As a result its possible that one could avoid providing payment  
information to a hotel, not that im advocating this...
