Zďaleka najobľúbenejšia technika hľadala reštaurácie a kaviarne, ktoré ponúkajú bezplatné Wi-Fi služby. Pred piatimi rokmi by myšlienka, že každá iná prevádzka na letisku alebo na rušnej ulici ponúka bezplatné bezdrôtové pripojenie k internetu, bude sen. Väčšina čitateľov mala len málo problémov, keď z takýchto zariadení preukázala bezplatné Wi-Fi. David píše:
In addition to the aforementioned McDonalds, I would add Dennys, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Panera Bread, and of course lobbies of Hotels w/ free Wi-Fi.
Hisa zdieľa trochu tidbit, že mnohí ľudia nemusia vedieť:
I have a Sprint phone, and when all else fails, I just call to activate the hotspot, use it for as long as necessary, and then call to deactivate it. Sprint is great in that respect because I only pay for the meager amount I use, not the whole $29.99 package.
When free Wi-Fi is near, I snag it. My favorite hot spots are cafes, book stores, hotel lobbies, and fast food joints where I seem to end up anyway when I travel! Also, the convention centers I attend usually have a Wi-Fi option, and it is usually free. I don’t bother “looking” for Wi-Fi, I just let my iPad or my droid phone search for it, and when they find it, I enjoy it ^^
Netušili sme, že spoločnosť Sprint vám umožnila aktivovať funkciu hotspotu na základe potreby použitia. Určite to nezverejňujú. Možno iní čitatelia môžu zviesť s informáciami o svojich nosičoch?
Geoff ponúka dva triky, ktoré majú rôznu etickú a právnu silu:
A lot paid wireless systems right don’t check for mac address spoofing. These solutions are moderately evil and you should proceed with caution.
In Europe last summer I ran into a few interesting situations. 1. The airport I was at offered 15 minutes of internet for free. So if I changed my mac address every 15 minutes I could continue to use the internet as long as I needed. 2. Sometimes if your mac address just happens to be the same as someone who is legitimately connected to the network or you wait until they have left the network. The router will think that you are the person who paid for it. There is some pretty simple software you can get to scan a network then change your mac address to that of someone on the network allowing you to connect for free.
Zatiaľ čo prvý z nich je dosť chytrý, vyhneme sa druhému z dôvodu možných problémov, ktoré by mohol spôsobiť legitímnemu zákazníkovi (bol by ste skutočným trhnutím, ak by ste spôsobili, že účet skutočného zákazníka dostane príznaky nadmerného používania / duálne prihlásenie kvôli MAC spoofing shenanigans).
