Michael: Yesterday I was asked by a customer to test an application on Citrix. I log in using a VPN. I was able to do everything (log into their network - log into Citrix) and it froze at "Connecting to something" I sent them a screen shot and they called me right away and said "We have VPN access blocked"
Luckily my answer came with less frustration.
