Bypass Network Login Page

[Redsun20]

I am going to be traveling soon, and I expect to hit lots of public hot spots that require you to give your email to them to access the internet. I for one already get enough spam, and want to try and find a work around. I have looked around, but I didn't really find anyone asking my particular question. Would it be possible to bypass this with a VPN? Also, if anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

If the system is well made (most are) then no, there is nothing you can do as it won't serve you a page until you've accepted the ToS.

Most of the AUPs I've come across on public wireless networks just need something that is formatted like an email address. If you follow the formula of "something[at]something[dot]something" the access page will let you thorugh unless they have a service set up to actually verify addresses (most don't).

 

It's also worth noting that a VPN won't do anything at all, the network login page is almost always hosted locally and the network is just configured to redirect all network requests to that page until you accept the ToS.

Be aware that the majority of "free" wireless networks probably have traffic filtering set up, which would probably thwart most VPN connections.

Here's a handy tip if you have a gmail account.

 

 

yourname@gmail.com and yourname@googlemail.com is the same.

 

From that you can use your.name@gmail.com or your.name@googlemail.com

 

placing a "." anywhere between "yourname" in any variation also directs you to your main yourname@gmail.com

 

From that you can use

y.o.u.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com; y.o.u.r.n.a.m.e@googlemail.com any variations.

 

also a "+whatever" between "yourname" and "@" also directs email to yourname@gmail.com

 

based on those near infinite possibility with gmail you can create yourname+spam@gmail.com and for temp occasions and then create a filter to auto delete emails directed to that address without it affecting anything else. 

 

 

 

but no, you generally cann't bypass website logins since you won't be authenticated to their system to connect online.
