How can I trick SSH to connect using different configurations based on current location?

Can I get in trouble if I go to a public location w/out using their services and connect to wifi from my car i?

  • Like a hotel or laundry mat or Mcdonalds.. for me to just sit in the parking lot in a parked car and connect to wifi with out using the public services/ I dont want to rent a room, do laundry or buy food.. I have no money.. can I get introuble for using their wifi connection? I mean it's not posted that you have to be a customer.. the hotel does have a disclaimer but Its soo long I dont think anybody would read it... btw its like 2am and the libraries are closed.

  • Answer:

    Yes. = Theft of services. - 2am and police become 'interested' in people sitting in cars.

if it isnt encrypted its open to the public. Keep in mind they can check who is on there but highly unlikely it is open to the public. They may not like you hanging around though without paying for anything. A few minutes maybe but one hour could be a problem. Just dont do any transactions though because it is a public wifi. people prey on those open hot spots. They can get you credit card number or something important!!!

Yes, there have been many people who have been arrested and sued. Doing this is technically theft of services. It's like stealing someone else's electricity by tapping into their electrical wires or stealing cable by putting a splitter on your neighbor's line and running it to your house.

How are you on here if you have no internet? And if they catch you they may be unhappy but I don't think you are breaking any laws. This article suggests you don't sit in your car though.

If the connection is not password protected, go for it.

McDonalds has free wifi, and so does Starbucks, I believe.

About the most they would do in most cases is tell you to leave the area.

The places that don't want you to use their WiFi charge for it, so it doesn't really matter.

Not really. If it say its free then its free
