[arm-allstar] Zero Tier

[David McGough]

Hi Rick,

I doubt that ZeroTier is the best candidate VPN in your scenario.

When you say "impenetrable," realistically, what is getting blocked?  
--everything?  Are you able to ping outside networks, perform a DNS lookup
against a public nameserver?  How about get out to HTTPS/TLS websites (on
port TCP/443)?  If you can get data in and out one way or another, in a
reliable low jitter way, then a VoIP VPN is possible.

Another serious factor to consider is: who will get bent out of shape if 
you are successful in tunneling out?

Do you know what type of content filter is in use?

73, David KB4FXC
