VPN/PPTP access over the conference wifi

..doesn't seem to work for me. Does it work for anyone else?
Could we get the ports opened so that it works?

I guess a lot of people are needing to connect back to their company networks...

Hi,

I just asked the local admin to open up port 5005 and heard somebody else asking him to open up something around 2000. Otherwise, only "standard" ports are open and everything else closed by default. The admin was very nice and said he would do it as soon as he gets hold of his workstation...

PPTP we asked to open before Drupalcon, and we were told that it would work to connect, but it might not work to transfer more data, because of the NAT setup. It looks like we might have hit that issue. Anyone with better experience debugging that? :)
