We will start tomorrow a workshop in Pretoria, South Africa, for which we got VMs for all students. I just tested the connection to Climb but, unfortunately, the window hangs when I try to connect to any of the VMs from the workshop or my own. It does work as soon as I connect through the VPN from Quadram, but the students won’t be able to use VPN connection to access Climb. Is the access to Climb blocked from South Africa?

2. What operating system are you running; GVL, Ubuntu 16.04, Centos 7, etc.?
Mac, but also tested on Windows using Putty.

3. Is there any other information that you think might be helpful?
