We know that VPN internet connections are outlawed (at least that is the strict interpretation of the AUP, even if Bill Goodland some time ago said that wasn't quite the intention, it just wasn't supported, but as ntl can tell you to stop it, it seems banned). The majority of those who would use VPN are probably homeworkers connecting to their office servers. Now we see the blocking of port 135 to deal with a virus, on the face of it a legitimate idea, apart from affecting anyone who might use Exchange server software (mostly business users within office based LANs I admit, but you get the point).

What if you at home and you just want to connect to your work Exchange server to get your email?
Bocking 135 it cant be done now, VPN provided a through route for that had it not been against the AUP.
Could you imagine your company being sued ?
The legalitaties of this have obviously not been thought through.
