Of course, you have a problem when the owner of the wifi explicitly prevents anonymisation services.

For example, when I was at Birmingham airport, I couldn't connect to my VPN because they blocked domains of well-known VPN providers and even hijacked all my DNS requests so I couldn't circumvent so easily it.

I guess running your own local DNS server which has your typical requests cached would solve this problem though.



Well, if you're running your own on, say, an EC2 or Rackspace or DigitalOcean droplet, they likely won't have it blocked.
