Off Topic, Related • Re: Penetrating Firewalls Using OpenVPN

I am re-posting the problem. I recently traveled to several countries in Europe and every WIFI system blocked all the ports except for TCP 80 and 443. So getting e-mail on the ports traditionally used is impossible over WIFI. The only solution that I can see is to use an instance of OpenVPN that uses HTTPS on TCP port 443 on a client (e.g. a laptop) to communicate with an OpenVPN server that handles the HTTPS traffic in addition to the classic OpenVPN protocols. I realize that this double encryption (HTTPS & OpenVPN) will cause a decrease in throughput but at least it would allow OpenVPN to penetrate the WIFI firewall.

Does anybody know how to accomplish this?
