I travel a lot for work and I noticed that almost every hotspot I go to uses DNS spoofing attack to redirect me to a login page. even the ones that are free and require merely a click of "I accept the terms and conditions" button. This login typically remembers your connection for about 24 hours (presumably via mac address, but that is a guess)
If I set openDNS as my choice of DNS server (instead of acquiring it automatically from router) I can get significantly faster and more reliable browsing experience. But I am unable to reach the login page and as such cannot have an internet connection.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a program that can resolve this issue somehow. Such as by making a browser use a different DNS server than the network connection
