Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed AT&T mobile is blocking ssh 
(outgoing 22/tcp) connections?  AFAIK, AT&T mobile does CGN.  It's 
puzzling that they'd block outgoing ssh when there have been multiple ssh 
clients in the Apple app store for years.  I used to be able to ssh from 
my AT&T phone.  I found recently, the packets don't get to the server 
unless I VPN from the phone first (or am on wifi, not relying on AT&T for 
IP).
