UDP not available in Sun Wireless Broadband

I wanted to give our warehouse an internet connection so that they can access our company enterprise inventory system through VPN or other secure remote means.  So I went to test Sun Wireless Broadband under Linux just to see if the connection will be a good fit for our warehouse. 

Internet browsing, and email works smoothly.  However, when I tried OpenVPN which uses UDP, I couldn't connect.  It looks like Sun does not allow UDP traffic through their service.  I'll wager UDP wouldn't work with Smartbro or Globe either.  Fortunately, remote NX connection over TCP works just fine.

I'll have to think it over whether to set our VPN connection to use TCP instead and live with it.
