So my school blocked VPNs......

[CyberneticTitan]

I have VPNs set up on my iPod, but I cannot connect to them.

 

They are PPTP and L2TP connections.

 

I can do it on my home connection, but not at the school. Any suggestions?

There's not much you can do then , my school blocks Teamviewer and VPN's so it's hopeless for me.

Its probably not the VPN that is being blocked but the port its using.

They probably only open port 80 and 443.

 

So you need to set up your VPN to use one of those but Im not sure PPTP or L2TP allows that (don't think it does)

Does your VPN support OpenVPN? That will allow you to set the used port.

I'm using OpenVPN with VPNBook servers. Mines blocked PPTP too, but OpenVPN will generally get through. According to them it's undetectable anyways.

That's unfortunate

I'm using an iPod. Can I use this for OpenVPN? https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/openvpn-connect/id590379981?mt=8

Yes, you need that. You'll need a way to get the OpenVPN certificates onto your iPod though, generally through the Mail app.

Well obviously you have to abide by some policy the administrator sets. He doesn't want people using VPNs because it's probably likely that you're not using it for school work purposes. If he doesn't give you access to do something, you're going to have to get over it. Aiding you in bypassing restrictions specifically set by a network administrator would be stupid, and you should not seek help for that here.

Security my friend. Wouldn't want my "Administrators" logging all my activity and retrieving my logins.

 

When I first entered the school, there was a paper in which there were rules to abide by and no where did it sate that we cannot use VPNs.

 

And to be completely honest, when the students in our school use the internet/wifi, 75 percent of the time it is not  related to school work. YouTube being the most popular.

SSTP can change ports if you have it set up somewhere and should be able to get through if you don't have OpenVPN or you are having trouble setting it up. Though it does need certificates too

How can you block TeamViewer? Just change whichever port you're using.

Try some proxies.  Ultra surf is good, you can put it on a flash drive just plug your drive in open the program and youre good. Thats if they havent blocked that too, doubt they have because the school I went to blocked vpn's and those web proxies by key word.

Because flash drives work on iPods right? Your only option is OpenVPN.

Oh oops, right by the time I read the comments I forgot it was for an ipod

I'd go with everyone on saying OpenVPN. OpenVPN is absolutely awesome! Set it up to use port 443 over TCP and it should work just fine. I'd actually advise against using PPTP because it is considered broken in that the key can be recovered now that MSCHAP-v2 is broken.

OpenVPN worked guys. Thanks for the help.

This post is Sooo OLD! But if any 1 wants to go on any website on a school computer but the website u wanna go on is blocked. I have some good news. Well u guys prob already know. But u can use proxy server websites. Ik 2 that really work but they kinda suck. Soo I found this VPN Browser u can use to visit ANY WEBSITE UR HEARTS DESIRE! Lol. But at times u will hAvta type in a code to make sure your a human but after u type in the code u will be right on the website u were searching for. My schools Pretty strict. But I still managed to download it. Here's the URL: "https://www.freevpnbrowser.com/"

It really works. But if it doesn't let u visit that website on ur schools computer/labtop. No worries! Jus go to one of the 2 Proxy Servers!

(1) www.proxy4free2u.appspot.com

(2) www.bingproxy.com

Then download it.

Now that should work!

I accidentally put ---> " <---

In the VPN Browser Link. So just backspace that and then u will be good!
