Re: Where are the places that block encrypted traffic?

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

In 2011 there was the DNS-EASY ( Workshop on DNS health and security ) held
at in Rome (http://www.gcsec.org/event/dns-easy-2011-workshop )
It was organized by the "Global Cyber Security Center" and held in some
building that was somehow affiliated with the postal service / postel.it.

This location blocked all port 443 (and 22, and.. and.. and...). This made
people sad, and so I ended up spinning up a VPN server on port 80 for most
of the attendees...

Sure, anecdotal info, but....
