I'd like to report a few interesting things: 1. In doing some google searches on this last night, believe it or not some of the search results were the exact questions I asked in this group, only yesterday afternoon. And this was while I was watching Fox News make reports on how Google is watching and recording everything these days...Sheesh I didn't know their spiders ran that fast. 2. I have my OpenVPN process running on my FreeBSD server and wish to test it with the OpenVPN client for Windows on my laptop from an outside location. But the only outside locations I have access to right now are the local McDonalds and Starbucks which offer free WiFi via AT&T's network. The trouble with this is they appear to be blocking almost everything at these locations with the exception of HTTP traffic. I can't make the connection and I cannot acces my LAN via SSH either. I don't think they are blocking any particular ports on these systems as much as they are just blocking everything except those ports which allow users to surf the web. The only thing which appears in the status window is that's it trying to make the handshake but then fails. I can ping my home server from these outside locations so I know my server is reachable.
