Among other things, yes. But as long as udp/1194 (openvpn) and maybe tcp/22 (ssh) aren't blocked, I'm happy...
Yes if port 22 was blocked it would be a catastrophe, the thing is people should realise that at the conference people were sniffing traffic and setting their machines to as access points. As one person said to me "Theres nothing you can do about that apart from finding them and [doing unmentionable things to] them". You really should tunnel all of your traffic when you're at a conference full of highly technical people as we're not all good people. Just be thankful that this years networking has been much better than most where we've had to do silly things like installing strange drivers etc to get wireless working. Phil.
