Re: Question about hotel security design

[nite <nite () sonic net>]

Im not sure exaclty how its configured, or what system/device is used
but some use a VPN style setup... and some of the time they work using
Layer 2 security. (ie.  your unique MAC addy)
To my knowledge at least. I'd be intrested in talking to someone who
works at a hotel and could explain the system they use....

If you have DNS/ICMP you can create a tunnel and use the internet just fine.
Checkout ptunnel:

You can also tunnel SSH/VoIP over DNS but its complicated.
Good luck,
