RE: Home Automation - Firewalls

Untill I get my system up and running,
does anyone know of a site that I could test vpn from different places to
see if it works or is blocked?

Yeah, web cafes etc could be a problem, fortunately in work I can use
the built in XP firewall client, although this only gets through ISA by
using the ISA firewall client (which is configured to allow me all ports
out, or at least a large amount, haven't totally checked) - I enable the
FW client, connect to VPN then disable the FW client - that's the only
way it works :/
