Hello

I'm an IT guy at a working company which only has an internet
connection through a firewall (FW1) which is managed by another
IT department (holding company) I like to connect our network
through a secured VPN connection (haven't bought any software yet).
 I'm not able to configure the FW1 myself.
I wonder if it's somehow possible to use this internet connection for
a VPN connection without changing the firewall AND without involving the
holding ICT department.  It takes way TOO long waiting for the holding
company to start their own VPN project.

thanks !!!!
