I'm signed up to start this service soon. So I went and read this section of the service agreement. Like you I noticed that the is wording in there that may indicate that these things can not be done in relation to "Business Use".
My reading of this however did not make it clear that VPN was tied to this "Business Use". So I
called up their tech support folks. Who didn't really understand what I was even asking, so they went to their boss. What I wanted to know is if it was ok for me to do VPN to work because that's how I access my systems remotely.
Their response,....
NO!
If I was to do so I would recieve a warning and if I continued I would be kicked
off the sytem.
This really, really bugs me! It also makes me wonder exactly what they mean by VPN, does
connecting with any encrypted method count (SSL web pages)? What about remote access with
SSH? What about port forwarding with SSH? From what I'm hearing from them, I'm not allowed to access anything in a secure manner.
It looks like they want to totally kill of the work from home user.

It's time to make some noise about this.
