RE: broken DNS proxying at public wireless hotspots
>If so, how do you configure your client operating system of choice to use the novel, un-proxied ports instead of using > port 53? * Set up the profile, to your house/work/etc, of your favorite SSH client to forward port 53 local to port 53 on your remote machine. * Make sure your SSH Profile connects to your house/work/etc via IP, not name * make sure there is some sort of DNS server running on the target of your SSH session * make sure your SSH server supports forwarded ports * connect to your house/work/etc. * repoint your local DNS client config to 127.0.0.1 * browse at will * (don't forget to undo this later or risk losing your sanity....) Same type of config works great for HTTP (with squid, and browser proxy settings) etc..
