Lets not jump to conclusions until you test again and IF it fails you get with me and we will see what's really going on
So today I finally got a chance to test a couple of things.
At lunch I went to a restaurant with a hotspot and tried connecting to my VPN via the hotspot and it failed. Then switch to my phone and connected using the same profile without issue. The video of this is here:
And tonight we went to dinner at a different restaurant. I had 1 bar of signal on the LTE network so connected to the BHN hotspot with my phone and captured the following. Notice the screen showing the BHN connection also shows the ad bleeding through. Grandstream is a hardware vendor, and the only advertising on their site is for their own products. The one with the blurred images is my plex media server at my house, I don't feed myself ads, and don't have anyway of injecting them if I did for some odd reason want to. And finally, DSLReports... this forum. I subscribe and pay for my DSLR and do not get ads, and been paying the m for so long, I'm not sure they even have ads on their site.
This was the only ad I received, no others. It would only appear randomly on page loads, not on every page. Even if they were PPC ads from the sites the chances that any two would use the same method, and only show BHN ads and no others is better than my chances of hitting the powerball, but here are 3 examples.
Just wondered if this has been overlooked, being researched, or being ignored?
I was using a BHN hot spot at Houligans in Palm Coast, FL and noticed the exact same thing. It was instant, as soon as I logged into the hotspot and opened Safari I pulled up Yahoo and the BHN ad came up immediately. There's definitely something that's being pushed.
