[kwlug-disc] Getting around firewalls

[Keefer Rourke]

So I did a port scan today and tried connecting to each of the available
ports, none of which worked. Paul, I'd say you're right about the deep
packet inspection. It's kind of annoying that a school board that is
preaching the importance of technology is actively blocking the use of it.

I'm currently working with my teacher to get an access point up and
running, because unfortunately ethernet isn't an option as the robot needs
to remain untethered since it'll be moving around and doing things. Thanks
for the suggestions everyone!
