[App_rpt-users] Firewalls and outbound connections

[Scott Weis]

I do this now when traveling. Outbound from the hotel works, but inbound
will not.

Hi All,

This may be an obvious and I am just not "getting it" but here it goes.

We are setting up an 440 & 902Mhz Emergency communications system with a
repeater node in a suite case sized Pelican box.  In the box is 902/927Mhz
Repeater, 12volt Linux PC, WiFi Card + FOB.

The idea is that we could set this up (as an example) at a hotel near a
wildfire command post.  The local operator would make an always on outbound
connection to a node used as an "inbound hub" via the hotel "guest wifi" or
Ethernet. 

My question is can a node create an outbound connection without any major
firewall modifications?  If not my other option will be to have linux create
a SSL VPN connection to somewhere "outside" and VoIP UDP openly from there.

Any thoughts on this?  Other ideas?

Pete/WI6H
