This was my experience too.
Had a Delta flight that used gogoinflight internet. On my initial outbound flight I noticed DNS still worked without paying, so when I was flying back home, I had set up a simple iodine tunnel on my homelab in advance.
I was surprised by how completely unusable it was. Of the few sites I even attempted to load, I only just barely managed stallman.org after modifying my browsers maximum timeout via a flag (and it look ~5 minutes).
SSH was also not usable, even a simple "whoami" took ~1 minute to finally execute.
So yeah fun as a cool gimmick, but other than _maaaaybe_ connecting to a single IRC channel, its not practical for anything.
- roygbiv2 2y agoSame experience here, I've never been able to use it for anything worthwhile. On one flight I was able to send an email by manually telnetting to an SMTP server and I eventually got an email out with a single line of text but that's been about it.
- ale42 2y agoI'm wondering if the problem has something to do with TCP retransmissions exploding the number of DNS requests. In the iodine client terminal there was a continuous flow of DNS requests and (most of the time) answers, so the communication at that level was kind-of working... but at the SSH level, it was practically unusable.
