I have an interesting problem of a catch 22 type. We have laptop
users that travel and wish to connect to our network while at hotels
etc. The problem is that we require that our users connect through
our proxy while using a VPN.
Many hotels have internet capabilities but require the user to agree
to their terms of use. But since we require the user to go through
our proxy the hotel agreement page cannot be displayed.
I thought that I would create a simple VB.NET browser that would only
allow the user to accept the agreement terms from the hotel but the
web object honors the proxy settings so it's a no go.
Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? If I could create a
browser object that didn't care about the proxy settings and didn't
have any navigational abilities I could set the default URL to our web
server. The hotel's terms of service agreement would be displayed.
The user could then agree to the terms and once access was given the
user could connect via the VPN and then fire up IE.
Thanks.
