Default Re: Hurray - Forum port 81 fixed!

LOL, sounds like you need to make a friend of the WAN manager just in case.

We have a new WAN contractor, and I have to deal with him when I set up VPN's from remote offices. The remote offices are almost always in a school, large charity or non-related government office. So the local firewall needs to be set to pass UDP|500 and a few filters need to be set. I can tell you that most high school firewalls are locked down so tight that Moses couldn’t make a path for a packet. The guys who run the firewalls seldom know what to enter and now my WAN MAN doesn't have a clue either. I quote "The fire wall will allow all traffic that originates from the inside." What a jerkoff this guy is. And the guy that hired him got a promotion based on the several hundred grand that was saved on the contract.
