Help, I'm lost! Emacs over SSH? Or something else? (alien.top)

Hi, Im not sure if this is the right platform to ask on. Long story short, Im stuck at this GIS job, massive computing experience under my belt, but close to 20% experience in GIS. Im playing around with SmallWorld locally and on a cloned repo. But they also have a Development environment on a remote server. Everyone here says theres no way to use your own Emacs version (28) on this one, except Emacs 23. Do you have any comment on this? Talk to me like Im a child. Im not sure if its an SSH setup. A senior told me it isnt (in a very thick accent). He might be bullshitting. (They use a VPN and sometthing called "f5 networks endpoint inspector")

It might be that they use VPN to access SSH. You can try to telnet to the server port 22 and see if you get to the prompt which indicates port is open. If telnet hangs for a minute and then complains about timeout on connection attempt then you probably need to find who's responsible for VPN and try to get one.
