| Aug 15, 2019 at 15:50 | comment | added | Roc W. | Thanks @yagmoth555. It's actually a bit of both. If our IT people could open up machine A, then setting up an OpenVPN server there would be the most straight-forward solution. | |

| Aug 14, 2019 at 2:32 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | @RocWhite with the edit I can see more the why, I weighted my vote. Next time just better wrote it from the start, as the fact you have a thirdpart that refuse your demand versus having network admin inside your corp that dont want to change any setting, the view is really not the same. | |
| Aug 13, 2019 at 15:06 | comment | added | Roc W. | Thanks. I added a network diagram and a bit more clarification to the question. | |
| Aug 13, 2019 at 2:35 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | @RocWhite I left you a comment on your question, but I honnestly think the best answer I could give you is to simply ask your netadmin to do it's job. | |
| Aug 12, 2019 at 19:09 | comment | added | Roc W. | I edited my question to give more context to the use case. Hopefully it now addresses your concerns. | |
| Aug 12, 2019 at 18:56 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | @RocWhite I would explain that inside your question, but at a certain point, why machineA can surf while machineB can't, but both can connect to C... I don't understand that point. Is it a proxy or else ? If you got a server that need direct internet access and your netadmin block you, it's a argument to have with them, ask them their router config in worst case if they are too lazy to do something | |
| Aug 12, 2019 at 18:08 | comment | added | Roc W. | Regarding the point about the control of machineA router though. The admins controlling those do not object to the proposed use of machineA, as long as it does not involve extra effort on their part. I tried to focus on the technical aspects of the issue, because the legislative/regulatory aspects are arguably the responsibility of people who implement any technical solution. | |
| Aug 12, 2019 at 18:01 | comment | added | Roc W. | Thanks for the clarification. I thought the review had concluded as the question just changed from [on hold] to [closed]. Also I can understand the reason you gave. It is very helpful. I was reading again and again the article "How do I ask a good question?", comparing existing questions on SF, and just banging my head trying to figure out exactly why my question wasn't clear or lack of desired end state, etc. Thanks again for taking the time to explain this. | |
