or there is a mandatory proxy... Does it count as internet connection, when only port 80 and port 443 are accessible and those require going through a proxy (very strict firewall policy)? Or everything requires using SOCKS? Just some possible problems I came up with. I don't know how often some- thing like this will happen.
