$ telnet www.example.com 80
Trying 139.20.64.26...
Connected to www.example.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /
Connection closed by foreign host.
The "Connection closed ..." message comes right after typing "GET /".
Normally I should see some HTML here, right? I get the same if I'm not
in the VPN.
If I omit the "www.", I get
$ telnet example.com 80
Trying 139.20.64.211...
Connected to example.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /
and that's it. Without the VPN, I see the HTML code of the site. Note
the different IPs. The university site says "use www.example.com port 80
as proxy", that's why I played with this here.

So that's the same as with the browsers.
Any further tips on what I could do? Thanks!
