Some systems prohibit outgoing SSH sessions #16

We had at least one user in the Admin training who was not able to SSH to her server because of a corporate restriction on outgoing SSH sessions. For this case, we started RStudio Server Pro and allowed her to use the terminal in RSP for the training. There are other browser-based SSH clients that might be worth exploring (for admin training, specifically) as well.

I wonder if we should have a set of inexpensive Chromebooks at RSConf for loan to people who have locked down laptops. Combined with RStudio Pro server sessions, use of those devices might resolve several of these issues associated with restrictive laptop policies.
