Yeah, I feel like the description on the neverssl.com page is really confusing in my opinion. Makes it seem like they're talking about tunneling your bank login through http or something. I just enter the ip of the router, lol.

Yeah, thank god I'm not the only one. It took me an embarrassingly long time to understand what it was getting at... I was kind of screaming at the suggestion to use plain http for "login" and "payment pages". I feel like somebody less tech savvy could really get the wrong idea from this.

The venerable example.com also tends to work well for this. I used to like using purple.com, which came with the bonus that friends and family who needed tech support would think I was messing with them and be doubly surprised when it actually worked, but eventually someone managed to buy it and put a proper https website on there.
You should always use SSL and secure encryption when possible. In fact, it's such a bad idea that most websites are now using https by default.
And that's great, but it also means that if you're relying on poorly-behaved wifi networks, it can be hard to get online. Secure browsers and websites using https make it impossible for those wifi networks to send you to a login or payment page. Basically, those networks can't tap into your connection just like attackers can't. Modern browsers are so good that they can remember when a website supports encryption and even if you type in the website name, they'll use https.
http://httpforever.com/ is another site in the same spirit.
It's this about getting to the captive portal page?
I just use captive.apple.com.

This post was really confusing, from the URL without context to the comment by OP, i had to take double take each time.
Feels like a clumsy promotion.
