Your normal internet-surfing 0815 guy will not need much more
than DNS, FTP, HTTP, and SMTP via the ISP mailserver - maybe
some high ports for stuff like chat, p2p, streaming media.
That's exactly the kind of use I'm talking about.

People that actually use other stuff - say, SSH - are rather
rare.

Maybe confusion between web access and Internet access here... People that want web access can go to AOL, but if I purchase an INTERNET access, I demand full access to all IP services, including the one I will create !

BTW, I tryed recently the httptunnel package, that enables the build of VPNs or port forwarning through http proxies. Works fine for me. Maybe this is a solution to access ANY service even behind a web-only access through a web proxy...

Just my 0.2 eurocent...
