With a DNS tunnel, you can achieve "free Wifi" almost everywhere. Iodine[0] is easy to setup.

Shades of Kaminsky!

How usable is the speed on this?


I just did a little test with iperf:

Over my 4g connection to the 'server' box I get this:

    [  3]  0.0-12.4 sec  1.00 MBytes   676 Kbits/sec
Via an iodine tunnel:

    [  3]  0.0-10.1 sec   178 KBytes   144 Kbits/sec
I did try and hit up fast.com from a ssh -D proxy over the tunnel, but it didn't seem to like that very much.


Thank you!


The bandwidth is asymmetrical with limited upstream and up to 1 Mbit/s downstream.
