Way back in the day a lot of authenticated wifi firewalls did enable DNS requests to pass through, or at least to resolve using their DNS server, without being authenticated.

Someone smart created a TCP-over-DNS tunneling tool that I had a lot of great experience with, at least for more simple news websites of the day.

Tried this on a flight 4 years ago -- I got to SSH into a machine and read my mails, it felt like I was connecting from a space ship... so funny but not actually usable to browse the web or do any actual work ;-)
