Digiboo wifi solution in Seattle
 

The Seattle Wifi connection was unusable on my recent stay. It wasn't just me as my neighbor also asked me if I was able to login.

As a recent Boingo user, I was trying some other open access points to see if they were Boingo enable. I connected so some Digiboo wifi and Skype showed as online, so I figured I was set.

Unfortunately when trying to visit any web page, I was redirected to a capture page for some video streaming service from Digiboo.

Skype showed as online, though I was unable to make any direct dial calls. I figured I try some of my VPNs to see if they would tunnel through.

Sure enough, ExpressVPN was able to tunnel through easily and I ended up with full and fast internet access.
