    Wireguard vpn+pihole and you won’t need to watch those ads. Set it up to use an ntp port, and you won’t have to sign in to use the wifi.

        I just set up the server to listen on port 123/udp(ntp). You can also try port 53 although that isn’t always reliable.

        You should be able to change the port in the wireguard config file, restart the service, and allow traffic trough ufw.

          Thanks, I saw you mention SAS. I fly with them often, I might try this out. (Usually log in and then flip on the VPN)

        If you call security trough obscurity a security measure, then it’s really safe. Bots scanning for wireguard servers won’t find yours because they’ll be looking for the default port. In general wireguard will only respond to wireguard traffic, so a bot trying to exploit an ntp server will see silence as wireguard will not respond to actual ntp traffic.
