I typically VPN out of broken networks whenever possible.
Operate a VPN/PPTP/IPSEC/squid-proxy/ssh on tcp/80/443 to work around the issues.
Yep... On Windows laptop, a wrapper .bat sets up Putty (SSH) to configure a tunnel to a remote server, and for FBSD, an sh script with the SSH command line within. Depending on the situation, the tunnel may handle all core protocols, even 587 when it has been hijacked/blocked. Steve
