Emory Guest allegedly allows VPN connectivity, but using Cisco<br>
AnyConnect and its ilk yields at best a 10 minute usable connection<br>
before termination. I have not seen an out of the box configuration of<br>
any VPN product work on the Emory Guest network.<br>
<br>
However, using OpenVPN on TCP 443 does work, and while this is less<br>
than optimal for OpenVPN, it works without interruption. The<br>
filtering on Emory's wireless sees SSL traffic occurring on 443, and<br>
that's just fine with the rules in place.<br>
<br>
I have been using this the last couple times I have been at a meeting<br>
using VPSs (virtual private servers) that cost me a few dollars a<br>
year. By doing that I don't make it as obvious I am doing something<br>
"bad" by directly connecting to a host Emory could figure out is a<br>
home connection, and, I get better uptime and connection speeds with<br>
the VPS anyway.<br>
<br>
It would not surprise me that the podium connection is unfiltered. It<br>
will also probably not surprise you that I would recommend NOT<br>
connecting anything with Windows on it to that connection. Unfiltered<br>
means it is unfiltered both ways, and I seem to remember Emory hands<br>
out non-NAT'ed IPs on those connections. You get the picture.<br>
