[TriLUG] VPN from NCSU guest wireless

[Kevin Otte]

NCSU guest wireless doesn't have IPv6. I already checked. Yes, them 
turning that on would solve a great deal of problems.

Someone in another forum pointed out sslh. I'll look at that after this 
meeting. Don't want to mangle up my currently working VPS ~90 minutes 
before I leave.

Turns out I don't have 443 in use on my home IPv4 address, so I could 
put OpenVPN there. Limits me to 1Mbit/sec though, and $ISP could block 
me at any time.

I have also tethered on my phone, but coverage in the room is spotty.
