Interestingly enough, there is one of these in my apartment complex. I just connected to it and it allows DNS requests through. You could connect to some ones wifi and DNS tunnel out to the internet. Looks like there is a real easy way to get free internet without giving a penny to CommieCast.
- jacob019 12y agoI've used iodine dns tunneling when travelling, it's slooooooow, like 28.8 dial up slow.
- Moral_ 12y agoI set mine own up on a private server and I've gotten up to 120kB/s. It's usually fast enough to browse HN comfortably.
- rahimnathwani 12y agoI'm guessing it's using raw UDP tunneling on port 53, rather than tunneling IP over recursive DNS lookups through the ISP's DNS server. This is fast but doesn't work everywhere. I may have had bad luck, but I've not managed to get near those speeds when all I've had was access to a local DNS server, through which to connect to my iodine server.
- hueving 12y agoIf that were the case there would be basically no overhead and you should get full speeds.
- chacham15 12y agoIt doesnt get you out of paying for internet: you still have to pay for the other end of the DNS tunnel.
- jjoonathan 12y agoWould you rather give your money to Amazon or to Comcast?
- surmasingh 12y agoyea you are very correct!
- mkiehl 12y agoYou can get a decent VPS as the DNS tunnel endpoint for like 10-15$/year
- eli 12y agoIt's also kind of like stealing.
- burkaman 12y agoCommieCast? Really? These kinds of nicknames are always childish and annoying, and commie doesn't even make sense as an insult. At least think of something clever.
