We are currently working on a significant upgrade of our network and will be releasing a new web site in the next month to describe all the new stuff. Can you tell me which SSID you are connecting to and where in the Presidio? For the record, SFLAN is part of the Internet Archive but neither organization is officially affiliated with Alexa or Amazon, we just share a founder. > I could browse the web, but was having trouble with some protocols. > HTTP (port 80), Secure IMAP (port 993) was working fine, but secure SMTP > (starttls/port 25) wasn't working, even though I could manually telnet to > the destination on port 25 and ehlo indicated I was talking to the > destination server. Don't know how to explain this, my secure SMTP server works but it runs on the alternate port. > I guess they have a proxy firewall/server? HTTPS (port 443?) was working > sometimes. Secure SMTP over Port 26 didn't work either. Nope. None of the archive or sflan traffic is ever filtered in or out. Each machine is responsible for running it's own firewall, which mostly works out. > I kept getting ICMP destination unreachable packets when I tried. Are > they blocking encrypted traffic?

We don't monitor traffic except for statistical purposes but it's an open network so I can't vouch for everyone being so well behaved.
