Breaking News: wifi.google.com and port blocking
I had many discussions with Internet Access Providers such as mobile operators that they will prevent Internet access for VoIP or Skype by blocking traffic. I always said:
"You cannot do this, because either you allow VPNs or you will loose all your valuable business customers needing VPN to check their e-mails. And since this is encrypted you will have no idea, if they are only acessing their e-mail and files or also making VoIP calls."
"And I bet that very soon will offer a VPN service for anybody just to break through blocked networks."
Done by Google WiFi
Or as James Enck says correctly: Offence, the best defence ;-)
From the FAQ:
Will Google Secure Access work at other locations?

From the FAQ:
Will Google Secure Access work at other locations?
While Google Secure Access should work, we have not tested it at other locations.
(you can bet ;-)
Will my corporate VPN still work?
Yes. You can connect to your corporate VPN while running Google Secure Access.
(Double feature ;-)
