This seems to affect many public Wifi Hotspots. A very common example is
the new setup by Starbucks/Google (usually seen as **Google Starbucks
Wifi**) in the US by (Tech behind it is https://globalreachtech.com/
with their http://odyssys.net/).

Under Ubuntu 16.04, Windows, Android, Mac OS, or iPhone, a WiFi guest
user can connect without problem.  However, since upgrading to Ubuntu
18.04, I've encountered this in at least three separate Starbucks stores
in Southern California.


## WORKAROUND ##

An easier workaround, with fewer system modifications than the original
bug report is to use `ip route` to determine the IP address of the host
router, then add the hostname with that adress to `/etc/hosts`
