I've recently started boarding school, but I was allowed to take my laptop with me, but most of the sites and multiplayer games (I think the servers) were somehow blocked. I also can't go to any page where you can buy VPNs because they are also blocked. I urgently ask for help!
You have an internet connection, right?
Yes, via LAN cable
Do you know if the pages may have been blocked by your legal guardians?
No they weren't, I could use them beforehand.
Which pages are you trying to reach?
For example: Sites where I can get a VPN. But I can also use Discord e.g. In no voice chats but writing is possible. Teamspeak either, but Skype.
I've already tried Tor Browser, but I can't go to the site, for whatever reason.
Try this page:
https://www.expressvpn.com/de/order
I can't click on this link, nothing opens. Regardless of the links, except for sites like YouTube, Twitch, etc.
Then I'm sorry - I can't help you.
And here I'm just looking for the best way to get around that. I would even pay to play etc.
Thanks anyway!
With pleasure.
Thank you, too!
The appropriate remedy depends on how the lock is made. If it's based purely on IP addresses and only blocks VPNs and Tor based on the addresses, you can build a VPN gateway at home and play over it. However, if a protocol detection is done, it looks bad.
Someone well understood his trade and blocked all incoming ports, except for the ports (80 and 443) on the web…
now you should find out whether the port 1194 is open, starting out.
If you can connect to an Open VPN server, then you have won, because you can joke about it as if you had no locks…
I could create a test VPN server for you and you try to connect…
How can you create something like that? And how do I find out whether port 1194 is open?
By connecting to an Open VPN server, you can find out if the port is open…
if the port is closed, you just have to find an open port on which you can get out of your network - one will definitely be open, only which one you have to find…
creating something like this is relatively easy and there are many instructions…
It took me a while to get it working for me, but now it works…
write me a PM, if you are interested in it, then I will give you access to a VPN that is hosted by https://www.feste-ip.net/…
You can make such an access yourself, much cheaper… But I have it, so you can test it…
I already bought a VPN from Hide.me and ExpressVPN and neither of them worked.
What's the difference between and yours?
Tor only brings something for websites… You can't play games with it…
If I know something like that, I've only had it in less bad. There are the following options:
Get mobile internet and use it to download a VPN. Alternatively, look for a Wi-Fi hotspot or do not download the VPN from the original site, but use sites that offer downloads such as chip.de. The pages should not be locked.
A stealth mode (sometimes called an obfuscated server) can be necessary for stronger blockades. This disguises the VPN traffic as normal web traffic and everything runs over port 443 like normal https sites. With some VPNs where there's no such mode, you may still be able to change the port to 443.
Here is a list of good paid VPNs (you can often test VPNs with a money back guarantee) that are good for bypassing blocks (stealth mode and the IPs are blocked less often):
VyprVPN
NordVPN
Surfshark VPN
Free products are e.g.:
Free VPNs like ProtonVPN or Atlas VPN
Tor browser
Opera browser with integrated proxy
VPN add-ons for the browser or VPN apps for mobile phones such as Touch VPN
I've already bought VPNs, but when I tried to connect, it didn't work. Opera etc. Also didn't work.
I don't know the others - I can set the connection port for mine myself - and if it's port 65535
Did you also have the stealth mode activated or connected to an obfuscated server? A VPN does not do that automatically you have to set it in the settings
I sent you a PM.
In contrast, a stealth mode helps disguise the VPN traffic as normal web traffic and everything is routed via port 443. This overrides protocol detection and port blocking. Provides special protocols for bypassing locks
And what did I write? Better read it right.
I've already read that… My comment is only the short form…
you'll get your thumb too.
Yes, no problem.
You could also quite brazenly connect to a VPN server via port 80.
