Mcdonalds WIFI policy

I noticed that some Mcdonalds do not allow SSL web proxies like sslunblock. Is this in there policy?

They can have any policy they like. It's their network. Take it, or leave it.

It's annoying that they have a landing page, so every time you go through the drive thru of any McShits, your smartphone will conk out with no data transfer if it remembered the WiFi network and you haven't agreed to the terms manually.

That's especially true at playplace, the cops find that special sauce on your ipad, it's game over.

True. That would definitely not be a 'McHappy Meal' to most...

Looking at their corporate website I can't seem to find one. I suspect you have to agree to their terms before you are granted access to the network, I am sure it contains language which allows them to "do anything" they wish.

In the UK they have filters in place and have teamed up with a non-profit group to ensure "family friendly" Internet access. »www.mumsnet.com/family-friendly
Last year there was a bit of an uproar in New Zealand after they blocked access to certain websites. »www.abc.net.au/news/2011-01-11/g···/1901084

i posted a thread in the bell forum a few months ago about this... it seems they block a lot of stuff that isn't HTTP.

That's enough. If you give any sort of general connectivity to the net, secure two-way communication can be established through it. I can encapsulate TCP packets in HTTP requests and responses.

And if not HTTP, try tunnelling IP over DNS.

A captive portal usually sends a bogus DNS server in the initial DHCP reply for redirecting traffic, however, they may actually pass out UDP port 53 traffic to ANY address.

You could test to use 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS) to see if that is the extent of their filtering.

If it works, you can tunnel to a server of your choosing, perhaps one that you operate (..see code.kryo.se/iodine).

Thanks thane_bitter. I realize they can do what ever they want as its there network but I noticed only once that encrypted google was blocked but functioned afterwards. So I was curious as to if SSL proxy filter was consistent among Mcdonalds.
