It was a U.K. university building

They asked what ports we wanted (sigh), we said all, I suspect the ports were opened but MITM wasn’t disabled. Oddly it either passed through u mileages or it broke connections completely without inserting a fake cert.

Even more oddly GitHub was blocked but stackoverflow was allowed.

As we turned up in the vans on the Saturday morning and the recee team hadn’t clocked this (to be fair most https sites worked fine) we couldn’t get it changed - or the process for changing it was far too much given the other stuff we had to set up and the ease of the workarround.
