yes, it's definitely possible. I don't know how, because my housemate's bf set it up, but it is possible. The dl speeds aren't as fast though, and you need to change some settings otherwise you won't be able to use the internet on campus.

Yes DC become available off campus last year.
You have to forward some ports. Instructions are at: http://machub.dyndns.org/
The speed you download at though is dependent on your connection speed. It's not going to be as fast as it was on campus.
Personally, I never bothered with it off campus.

It's generally dead in Summer since no one lives in residence.

Also, when your off campus, you connect via the internet, so what you download is counted towards your bandwidth limit

When I was in res, I could download 4+ Gb in under 10 minutes, so comparatively, 11hrs is really slow  |

Ya I know res is unbelievably fast lol. I was comparing it to off-campus speeds. Just saying with a bit of tweaking you can get decent speeds I guess.

Offcampus all depends on your internet speed.
