How to become a true pirate

I am in the air right now. 35,000 feet. How am I texting you? Inflight WiFi. I recently read somewhere that the port 3128 is never blocked on inflight WiFi. So I did a little science experiment. I set up a proxy on port 3128 and lo and behold, I can browse the internet on a United flight without having to go thru the paywall. I'm planning to disconnect after this post though, because even if I'm a piracy advocate, I find this a little too scummy. Hey, United, please patch up port 3128 so that I can't browse the web for free. Thanks!

Ooh, a plane!

order room service! Don't talk too loud or the lady at the desk will shush you! Don't feed the animals, male sure to root for the home team, and keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times!

...Planes have room service, zoos, libraries, sports, an rollercoasters right?

Airline is teaching you how to pass paywalls when Providers decide to put them in place
