Re: Ports/applications permitted for Guest Access

Is anybody doing protocol/application inspection?  Once ports 80/443/22/etc are allowed, an app can pump any data 
through; it does not have to be http/https/ssh/etc.  In olden days, this would probably only be done by a clueful user, 
but many applications do this automatically now specifically to handle port restrictions.
