Internet

We remember from last year that the internet structure did not block UDP traffic, and OpenVPN naturally runs on UDP. So, we were able to create a OpenVPN tunnel and pass through the securities in place that want us to pay monies with relatively no work. The downfall being that it was wireless, and shared bandwidth, so it was terribly slow.

We used FrankenDell that had been re-worked to fit a Wireless Adapter that would establish our link, and then push the connection to a little LinkSys Wireless router.

What we need now, is all the information we can get, in order to re-construct this item. One would think the facility would have upgraded their systems, however, that most likely would not have happened. Frankly, the case most likely remains that they made bank on those that did pay monies, and did not care either way, as long as nobody hurt their internal systems. (Who cares if a few cars are speeding, as long as they do not cause a crash or drive recklessly while at it)
