Can't connect to Red Hat VPN from public library

Development

To Red Hatters,

I'm trying to work remotely from a public library but can't connect to
Redhat's VPN or to Quassel IRC (on Greg's server), even though I can
connect to the the public internet.

Does anybody have ideas what is blocking me?

Thanks,

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

I'm pretty sure you asked the wrong list :).

Regards,
Flo

Long past needing a reply, but for the record, public connections
nearly always use a port-filtering firewall to block non-standard
ports (80, 443, 25 etc). I expect vpn and irc are considered
non-standard and blocked by the firewall.

For clever people - use ssh tunnelling to bypass the problem :slight_smile:
