At my college, the current wireless hosting service has a strange system where we must log in every time we reconnect to the internet. Besides being annoying, this prevents us from connecting things such as game consoles to the internet, or connecting to services such as Steam on our computers (for reasons I really don't understand)

I have a Belkin G+ router that I want to use as a proxy server, and use my university's wifi, but be able to bypass all the inconvenient junk they've placed on us. I know pretty much nothing about routers, but I've managed to set it up, only it has to go through the university and their login still.

Is their any way I can configure it so that this is possible (Get on Steam, connect to Netflix via Xbox, etc)? (I have a MacBookPro running 10.7.5 if that helps)

Thanks!

Not without hosting and paying for your own internet connection. As long as you're tied to the university system, there's no work around.
