• (optional) Run a local wildcard DNS server
  • Guide: http://renebakx.nl/7/running-a-local-wildcard-dns-server-on-your-mac/
  • You have to do this if you want to watch youtube videos, since google generates new subdomains constantly
  • I tried to add most subdomains to the /etc/hosts map so a lot of stuff will work without this

Other sites

Okay so you need to access stuff other than google owned sites...

1. Buy gogoinflight on your phone (it is 1/4th the price)
2. Spoof your desktop browser to be a mobile phone via a user-agent switcher
3. Log into your gogoinflight
4. Unspoof

You can use this technique to cut down the cost of wifi drastically, and also to share wifi with any of your seatmates/friends around you.

Info

There are some APIs you can call to get the current status of your flight, destination, etc.

Unfortunately, /etc/hosts doesn’t support wildcards like *.google.com. You’d have to list each subdomain explicitly. :(

Update: see the instructions in the updated Gist.
