On: Never again be thwarted by restrictive “guest” wifi (e.g. on buses or airplanes)

I use a service called Cloak (https://www.getcloak.com/), which I love and recommend to people all the time. It does something similar, but it automatically detects when you're on an unsecured network and automatically does everything for you.

Highly recommended. The author of the program hangs out on HN sometimes too.

Another Cloak user here - I was able to stream Netflix on my flight this week due to running it through their proxy. No infrastructure to run, and fully integrated with OS X's wifi selector. It runs on multiple cloud platforms to boot, so if someone is blocking EC2 you might have better luck.
