Hi all, in need of some assistance.
My school uses fortinet/fortiguard to block websites and software at my school. I believe also when you connect to the wifi you have to accept a certificate.
I use macos, and have tried everything under wireguard and openvpn settings suggested by people (and different dns servers) on reddit, and the most i’ll get is a connection to a server leaving me with no internet.
For clarification this is in no way for me to try and play games or watch videos on the schools wifi, I have a hotspot that would save me the trouble. This is just for me as an i.t. interested student to learn about network security and how the schools wifi works.
There is indeed ways to evade the firewall.
An easy way is probably Outline VPN https://getoutline.org . This was a project from Google, and it’s is censorship evasion software, mostly used to combat state media controlling the internet. Download Outline Manager, get a VPS running, and then connect to it using Outline Client. If that doesn’t work, you have to use some more advanced methods, which have a larger learning curve.
You can also create Outline Keys (they are like accounts) for your server and set data limits (most VPS have a bandwidth limit) to give your friends access. That’s what I did for some time.
r/dumbclub is where people gather to get help to bypass the Chinese Great Firewall. If outline doesn’t work, you will have to use somthing from there. XTLS + Reality using Xray bypassed my firewall.
Change your mullvad port to 80 or 443, and use Wireguard obfuscation.
Saaaaame problem here for months now. Lmk if you find any proposed solution to work.
They probably use app-id to block certain applications. Firewalls likes fortinet and Paloalto use that tech (app-id).
Maybe just pay attention in class?
I’ve tried outline today and nada; cant connect.
I’ll have a look at dumbclub now.
XTLS + Reality using Xray will almost definitely work, it has built in spoofing strategies to overcome the IP blocking. I made my traffic look like it was coming from Cloudflare, but you can make it whatever you want, For eg: A school assignment platform.
My account isn’t used often, so you can jump back through my recent discussions to see what I did to overcome a problem similar to yours.
I’ve had a crack at X-UI as your old post suggested.
Using the command: bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FranzKafkaYu/x-ui/master/install\_en.sh)
It works, can access the web ui, but I don’t have a version 1.8.3 (as shown by screenshot), and clicking ‘Add Inbound’ under the inbounds section does nothing.
Do you have any suggestions?
I have been absent to this scene for quite some time, which is unfortunate because it evolves so quickly, but after a quick browse, it appears what I used is no longer in maintenance. The more updated and better alternative is 3x-ui. https://github.com/MHSanaei/3x-ui
It supports the method I used before.
I might have miscommunicated myself.
Have a look into the XTLS Reality protocol if you are curious as to what I’m referring to.
