Unlocking Free WiFi on British Airways

This is iodine. https://github.com/yarrick/iodine

Wonder how long it is before it’s taken down. A previous post about a cruise was threatened with legal action

Eventually airlines will just whitelist IP ranges for free messaging-only access.

If you use Lyrebird not only can you obfuscate your traffic behind various transports, it does domain fronting by default. Don't have to jump through this many hoops.

Also, allegedly, MAC spoofing of already authenticated clients can bypass many of these paywall-gated hotspots :)

Hmmm can you hide vpn traffic this way?

That's really cool I never thought about having your own host and then faking the SNI.

I find it pathetic that vendors and ISPs are snooping SNI headers to block things, looking at you, UK.

Also, I wonder what will happen if those instant messaging apps move to Encrypted SNI (ECH), will they just not work, or is there fallback?

I wonder how generalizable this is to other airlines
