Infrastructure

I believe that hotel Wifi often blocks ports for IRC as well, so a VPN could be very helpful to allow us to keep in communication.

Hi,

- What networks should be "visible" through the VPN ?
- How many concurrent users/connections should the solution support ?
- What platforms shall be supported on the client side ?
- How can be tested ?
- Who can test and approve the proposed technical solution ?
- By when needs to be in production the requested solution ?

Hi *,

as Tipp, you can use sslh as proxy on port 443 to difference between ssl and ssh.

SSLH listens on *:443 and forwards the connection to either sshd or webserver.

Normally on Hotels 443 is allowed to.

For starters:
- TDF servers
- Any related servers/devices
- Freenode IRC

I'll assume that the filtered network that allows http traffic will cover our web-browsing needs (for docs, software info, etc..)

- How many concurrent users/connections should the solution support ?

Let's say a dozen for starters. I expect that most people will be on an unfiltered network most of the time.

- What platforms shall be supported on the client side ?

Linux/Win/Mac, ideally. It's unlikely people will be accessing from Android or iOS.

Good question. I guess set up some filtering rules on your local router? ;-)

Cloph and Alex are the best people to contact.

Before someone gets stuck on a restricted network in a hotel again... :P There's no hard deadline here, but it would be nice to have this tool available to us.

just for the case: can I get another access for the next libreoffice conf in denmark? whoever knows if i get my new router in time (lol) and need to do other stuff by lowliness onwiki ^^

Sure!
If you need it in September, best is to ask shortly before, in case the
setup changes again :-) But per se no objections
