Weird, I never had issues to connect to my #xmpp|d from the #Philippines (also worked well from #Vietnam, #Malaysia, #China and #Taiwan) via standard ports. I only had to use other ports or #Tor in some shitty airport wifis.

@raucao @debacle Another anecdote: A friend of mine in the #Philippines couldn't connect to my #XMPP server in #Singapore, *until* he turned on a VPN with an exit node in Singapore. There's all sorts of strange QOS rules lurking in the various ISPs' routers here in Asia.
