This is a great hack, although it requires a lot of work. I have it installed on my server and my Mac, and surfing/e-mailing works fine.

I have been toying with the idea of having the client part ported to my iPhone, so I can use paywall wifi directly from a mobile device. This would require porting the Perl client code over to C.

I've always wondered when someone would use EC2 and launch a free service with ICMP/DNS tunneling... and release a dead-simple client app.

I'm guessing most of this wifi infrastructure would take quite awhile before very much of it was closed up.
