        Can confirm, used DNS proxying to bypass cruise ship WiFi paywall once. It worked, but god damn did it send me into dialup flashback lmao

            It’s called DNS tunneling it’s typically used for data exfiltration tactics, but it’s also great if you’re desperate to punch through even the toughest paid WiFi paywalls to Google something really quick slow because you fucked something up on your phone lmao

        It really isn’t that slow, last time I tried to homebrew a working DNS tunnel it maxed my 100mbps card. I never needed the extra speed so I didn’t try to see how fast it could be on a 1gbps card

      Wait, this can’t just be another useless DNS blocking, or is it?

      Edit: Didn’t get the joke first lol
