When you get redirected on a phone/laptop, some browser based authentications pull your local IP address and your MAC address and throw it up into the URL for future reference, but do not check it against your devices actual again after that. But a few weeks ago I noticed something when authenticating with the network. For roku (the old one I have new models may be different), chromecast, and other stuff that does not implement a browser directly this is typically not something that is work-around-able without MAC spoofing. For laptops and phones, that is no issue since you just need to open up a browser and get redirected. The issue I ran into was most of the hotels required a browser based log on to authenticate your device on their unsecured network. For those who don't want the background skip to the explanation.Īlright, I have been to a few hotels in the past few weeks and decided to pick up a chromecast to watch netflix on the nice big TVs that are kind of boring for me otherwise.
