Re: Will they block VPN?

Good point, but "just set up a vpn server" is beyond most home users.

I would think the carriers wouldn't want to block business users from VPN, but that ultimately enough users - particularly business users - would manage to get set up to use VOIP that it would become a problem. It also seems to me that heavy users downloading large files would eventually be an issue. Isn't it logical that ultimately carriers would want to get set up to charge for bandwidth used, at a rate that would discourage VOIP, and be more friendly to people who wanted to stay logged on for the whole flight but not actually do anything bandwidth intensive?

Re: Will they block VPN?

Block VPN? How do you suppose they do that?

Simply ssh tunnel all your traffic through port 80 to a server/your home machine, etc. They can't tell it's not http traffic. Then go out from there...

Also the whole cell phone in the air thing has always made we wonder how those people on Sept 11 managed to make a bunch of phone calls and make some that lasted minutes long w/o dropping out while flying around at high speeds... I don't think I ever saw an explanation for that..??
