Tried to use WiFi in a hotel up in Yorkshire, and they seemed to
block pretty much anything useful (VPN, ssh and XMPP were all
blocked). The only thing I could find that worked was HTTP/HTTPS.
They didn't have a clue what I was talking about, but did refund
me the cost of using it.
Other hotels have just worked fine with all of the above.
