Method of Madness:
Can VPN access be blocked? I thought VPNs were to get around such things.

pwhodges:
Any port or protocol can be blocked by a simple firewall (even the one in my home ADSL router).  Fancy firewalls can do a lot more - even breaking open encrypted links in some cases (that's done by a controlled form of man-in-the-middle attack, I believe, and so may not be transparent).  The contents of a VPN may be unbreakable - but its encrypted traffic is still carried over a straightforward TCP or UDP link, which is what can be blocked.  Some protocols (not any VPN ones that I know) can search for unblocked ports and move their usage to them - but fancy firewalls can recognise this behaviour as well.

NO DON'T YOU DARE

Emoroffle:
I think my dreams for the future are moving on from "supervillain" to "galactic overlord". I have a whole fleet designed. Uniforms too. I just need Hans Zimmer for the national anthem.
