Although it was impossible to get important work done over a VPN over Amtrak's Wi-Fi (I really need VPN access for my job), it was still a fun journey from Charlotte to Philadelphia on my way home from a new years party. I worked from home that day, and while I was mostly incommunicado I could still get a lot of code work done on my own machine that I'd been putting off.
I would definitely do this.

- jadeddrag 13y agoIn my experience, having reliable network access was required to maintain a working VPN connection.
- fulafel 13y agoMany Windows-based corporate VPN clients like to tear down the connection on every little net hiccup, forcing you to do redo your SecurID or whatever login. And Windows IP stack likes to tear down your TCP connections on any brief loss of link, so eg. your SSH session cannot survive this type of event.
- superuser2 13y agoThis is also marketed towards writers, meaning the lack of usable WiFi may be a feature rather than a bug as far as productivity.
- unreal37 13y agoUnable to have reliable VPN access over Wifi as you travel across several states? That's hardly a complaint. There's no way to travel that would give you that.
