Hi I was talking to a friend who was saying that his laptop is set up so all his traffic is sent over a VPN back to his company network and that he uses it from round the country on hotel networks. Most hotel networks I've used have a captive portal where you at least have to tick a box to say you agree to the Ts&Cs. If he is doing that then I surely there is a short period before the VPN is brought up where the device is on the hotel network and then the internet.
This short period would give enough time for any apps which call home to have made their connections and potentially have been owned by Evil Grade and anything else running which is trying to get out to make a connection. Has anyone seen a way to stop this short window of opportunity but obviously still allow the user to connect to the captive portal and authenticate?
