said by Cobalt07 :I am doing some reading on VPN service providers.
Let me stop you right there and say a) are the VPN port(s) needed blocked, and b) exactly HOW are you thinking VPN will solve your
problem?
Not to knock your idea, but if you're not reading the RFCs or the actual directions on setting up a VPN and are relying on the sales
pitches / promises of a VPN provider, you're doing this wrong(TM).
Another possibility is port redirection (ie. if traffic comes in on port x, redirect to port 25) either on your edge device to the ISP
or at the endhost level, but again, that needs some degree of technical knowhow and the equipment to support it.
