If a ping to a specific IP times out, I wouldn't say the IP is blocked. It could be that ICMP specifically is blocked, following some network rules on the firewall. This is pretty common in entreprise networks to not allow endpoint discovery. I could be missing something and happy to be corrected here, but I was surprised to read that.

Yeah I am a bit confused about posts like this. It’s bragging about breaking the law. There was a particularly bad one a few months ago where a kid had hacked Monster’s employee training site, and was sharing all this internal media in the post. I don’t understand how they don’t end up getting in some seriously annoying trouble with law enforcement. Well I looked it up just now and the post was deleted, I guess maybe…
tldr; the wifi's access restrictions still allowed DNS so they set up a vpn on the dns port

Say you're on a plane from Canada to Hong Kong (random example), which country's laws would be applicable here? The country where the airplane is registered?
For all intents and purposes it is the country of registration of the aircraft.
There are one or two exceptions to the rule, but they would not be applicable in this scenario. Mostly stuff relating to air safety. For example, if the aircraft did something against the aviaition laws of the country being overflown. Or hijackings etc.

However, just as you make sure that the power supply actually supplies power before dismantling something that refuses to work down to the last washer, repairing network problems should start with the basics. Simple test that does not work, or shows something nonsensical, is a great hint that you forgot something, or should start digging elsewhere.

Could also just be lack of knowledge. Weren't we all a bit more risky and playful with other people's websites when we were kids and the internet was still accessed via modems? Remember talking about that with both other kids and adults without getting in trouble, but it was also decades ago. Once I saw others getting in real big trouble (like prison), then I kind of tried to find more beneficial ways of learning pro…
Huh ?
DNS tunneling is not exaclty something you do "by accident".
And if the person doing it on the flight "did not know" (which, given the text of the blog, I doubt) , then you can bet your botom dollar that the "roommate" that was summoned for remote assistance knew very well what was going on.

I don't know the age of the author, but it almost doesn't matter, sometimes people don't know (lack of knowledge).
