Hi danny, Yes. Brad and Jon did the polite work for us with OU IT. You should find that everything you need except for sendmail should be up and open. But I think you need to send details of the machines you want open to the outside world to Brad and Jon. After having port 6000 allowed access for X11 traffic I have been happily working as I was prior to the lockdown. I don't use VPN but I do log in from outside via ssh to both a Linux and Mac machines. No problems there.
