When I feel particularly nerdy, I try to go the DNS2TCP[0] or iodine[1] route. DNS is pretty much always open in those networks.

How does that work, when DNS always resolves to the paywall IP?

Not always. The three captive portals I've tried resolved DNS just fine, but then redirected any HTTP requests to their web server instead.

I've never encountered one that didn't have working DNS resolution
