A splash screen for the internet portal at a Hampton Inn. The text says:

I wonder how hard it would be to set up a hidden raspberry pi proxy server on the hampton inn’s wifi and use it as a torrent vpn.
Well, considering that even their premium wifi will usually only get about 29 Mbps down at the high end, it won’t be super effective.
This is basically what I get at home, on average, despite paying for 100Mb/s, because capitalism says you can use the words “up to” when you sell something that will likely never reach that number.
classic. isp’s always over promise and under deliver. in this case it’s not that there’s not more headroom available, it’s just that they throttle non priority devices leaving us high and dry when you’re trying to play a game and use voice
It doesn’t sound like effectiveness is their goal anyway.
fair enough, I may have a different perception of hotel wifi than the average person due to extensive work travel.
Use a router setup to combine network connections for throughput, setup in a box with solar in motel central, and tada, you’re risking someone else’s connection.
I already use a glinet beryl ax for all my hotel stays- they’re typically 8 weeks at a time so it’s important for me to be able to isolate myself from their standard network.
For anyone else curious:

Looks like it has built in wireguard vpn client support, so you can connect to an external vpn server and route all traffic to it automatically from all your devices.
can confirm that it works well, however ease of use typically keeps me off of the vpn for my quest 3. it does occasionally glitch out a bit since newer hotel networks are usually dualband so you’ll have to manually set the beryl to only accept 5ghz otherwise it’ll frequently deauth. I’ve noticed that sometimes it’ll also deauth if there’s another beryl on the same network. It’s kind of like playing whack a mole with deauthing.
You mean a GL.iNet travel router?
Only as hard as managing logging into WiFi/the captive portal.
Main difficulty is gonna be the SATA stuff.
