I was in a hotel a couple of years ago that served both a major university and its teaching hospital, and the campus IT department had decided to block VPNs, including at the hotel. I was with a very good VPN service at the time (that allowed a choice of protocols over a choice of ports), but couldn’t tunnel through. It was an impressive feat on the part of the IT guys, and I understand why they might do it for the campus network (eg, to keep students from torrenting), but it seemed a bit controlling for a hotel network.
