[kwlug-disc] Getting around firewalls

[Paul Nijjar]

Is an old-school wired connection a possibility? Wifi is nicer, but
even the WRDSB shouldn't be able to block a direct Ethernet
cable. 

If your SSH is being blocked even when you are listening on port 443
then the admins might be doing some Layer 7 deep packet inspection. 

Lori's suggestion to set up the RaspPi as an access point is good too.
