Public libraries, at least in the UK, has very strict policies on their broadband connections. zyou cannot connect to non-standard ports there. Normally only the 80 is open.
- kroger 13y agoWhich ones? I sometimes work in the Swiss Cottage library and the Internet connection is usable and they don't seem to block ports. One alternative is to get a 3G/4G usb dongle.

- disputin 13y agoMy local library has neither broadband nor toilet, but it does have power, and is always quiet. Crazygringo has described my days well, but I also have to coordinate my library time. There are paid workspaces nearby, which would cost about £150 per month more than the coffee shop, which I'll probably try out soon for a month. Working from home I certainly can't do in the morning at least, as I need the ritual of the 20 minute walk to "work". I believe Rene Magritte used to leave home in the morning, having kissed his wife goodbye, would walk around the block a few times, then return home to work.
- apierre 13y agoIf you are in London, the BL has a good broadband and I can use my VPN there.
- wfn 13y agoConsider running a VPS (or just a router from home) and having sshd bind to port 80 perhaps? :)
