Who wants to have to login to a VPN every time just to quickly retrieve or send some email?
On that iToy of yours it is just a flick of a switch, presto.
Indeed, that bypasses all those crappy local networks; and yes don't worry your iToy also has more than ample VPN abilities.Some do, some don't, and not all networks are any friendlier to VPNs than they are to port 25.
And the final solution then tends to be setting up a VPN on port 443... Which only wastes one IP address, not several for different services.
Set up once and never have to bother about special configurations or getting around stupid filters.Except where you have to or where there are so many layers of NAT that even VPNs don't work, or...
Unless this 'NAT' is actually a firewall doing DPI on the packets, I can't see any reason why a VPN which just uses TCP over port 443 can't work in that situation. Greets, Jeroen
