pptp vpn port 80?

[schpongo]

Hey I have a VPN running on my raspberry pi. It work just like i want it to.

But my school decided that no one needs any ports besides 80 and 443. 

Well i spend a lot of time in my school even if i'm not in classes and would like to connect to my vpn.

Is it possible to change the port form 1723 to 80?

No. How about trying OpenVPN Source, it should work on any port and on TCP or UDP.

You could try mapping port 443 or 80 incoming to port 1723 internal. although it depends on if your router supports this. I would suggest port 443 as it expects encrypted communications and would look less suspicious. I found that in my college the default VPN ports are blocked  but anything above 1194 is available so you may want to use them if they are not blocked and  if you also want a web server on 80 and 443.

I can use port forwarding but i dont think the native vpn app on mac support different ports besides 1723 for pptp.

Dont use port 80 this is used For HTTP Traffic.

Yes we know that :P Http traffic does not just run on 80  default is 80), It can run on any port you want, unless the port is being used by another software or device. Trail and Error here because of it being locked down. Also Port 443 is for HTTPS so yeah. Any Ideas?
