I'm curious where you are that has such an unusual topic filter. :-)
So, I would like to know if there are members on this list who know how
to get around
such blocking by these hotspots? Are there FF add-ons that can do it?
The easiest way that I usually use is the proxy feature in ssh. Connect
to a remote ssh server and add the "-D <portnum>" option. This creates
a socks proxy at localhost:<portnum> which you can configure in the
network settings. All http connections will get tunnelled out through
the remote server. By default, Firefox will use the system-defined
proxy setting. I also have a Gnome extension (Jam-proxy switcher) that
gives me an icon on the top bar for easily switching between using the
proxy or not and quick access to the network settings.
