Hi, If she is unable or unwilling to give you the details then you are really stuck aren't you. You state here that she isn't phased by technical issues, yet you state that she is not confident in making changes to her own computer. Depending on what you are trying to get her to access, it there nothing else you can put in place which means having a VPN is not necessary?

Moss <KMoss@WinterHillSolutions.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Best way to handle international connectivity for VPNs What information would you recommend I get from her? I've asked her several questions, and she continuously tells me she doesn't have it; that her ISP won't give it to her. not that anything technical scares her; she doesn't feel comfortable enough making changes to her own computer. ________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> on behalf of Katherine M.

Using SSL is an option as it is sent as 443 from memory. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Katherine M.

Moss <KMoss@WinterHillSolutions.com> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Best way to handle international connectivity for VPNs Hey all, This is more of an IT/legal question rather than an accessibility question. I've got a few sites that are joined up together by VPN, and I'm trying to add another connection from a South african IP; my friend there says that she is not in control of her network equipment and that she is not allowed to make changes. She states that it's more an issue with government policy rather than anything related to the ISP itself; now how ISPs and government have anything to do with one another is quite a confusing concept to me being from the US where the tech is in control. I was hoping that I might be able to get some international awareness from someone here; I'd rather her join our project without upsetting anybody who could actually do something about us. I am fine if it has to be a client-side VPN connection for her; though if she can't open a port, which she says that she can't, I'm not sure what the hell to do in that case. Advice and education on this matter would be very much appreciated. Note also that there aren't many techs in her living situation; she is one of those people who is nervous by any sorts of changes that take place. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
