Free wifi at most CCC libraries too.
Yeah - the problem with free wireless is that it often gets locked down to
http to any PASS
https to any PASS
DNS to the servers listed in your DHCP reply PASS
then DENY all
So telecom free wireless hotspots are like this, as are some number of
Zenbu APs.
FYI Koru Club wireless works perfectly - any kind of VPN should work
fine from their sites.
Some other sites require you to accept an EULA via a http captive
portal, and only then is traffic allowed.
Another option is to pair your laptop to a data capable cell phone and
use cellular internet - make sure you're on the internet APN not any
kind of walled-garden access and you're off. Downside is cost, but
plans are getting better all the time. My 12 year old nokia does 9600
GPRS perfectly, and while its slow it does work.
