vpn.ycp.edu

VPN (virtual private network) suggests they do have a Fortinet VPN and I can ping server vpn.ycp.edu. However, I cannot connect to port 443:

$ telnet vpn.ycp.edu 443
Trying 192.245.87.2...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
$ 

They might be filtering IP addresses. I suggest this server is removed from the tests.

It works fine in the recent CI runs (https://github.com/dlenski/what-vpn/runs/6762118550?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:30) and on my laptop.

There are only a limited number of candidates I can find for each protocol, which are (a) reasonably public and (b) reasonably large institutions and (c) hopefully not going to make a big deal out of a few packets being sent to them now and then for purposes of researching and studying VPN protocols.

Still, I cannot connect so I cannot run the tests. Perhaps they are limited to US IP addresses.

$ what-vpn -v -K vpn.ycp.edu

I am in 🇨🇦, for what it's worth. Looking at the commit dates, I'm almost certain I've run the test suite while in 🇪🇺 or 🇮🇱, but that was several years and many revisions of the target list ago. 🤷‍♂️
