Don't most work Wifi networks prevent VPN use?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This has not been my experience

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Mine does. They also keep an eye on it because I had gotten through it and that only worked a few days before it was blocked too. Didn't want to press my luck after that.

No.

where the hell do you work dude

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure why you're down voted. Yes some definitely do. You could get around it by hosting your own VPN on 443 or something but some do lock it down.

Their network, their rules. Makes sense.

then spin up your own wireguard instance and connect to it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If only it was that easy...

Tried that. And openvpn tun+tap configs, Various ports incl 443, even shadowsocks. None of it gets through.

Use Tailscale. Much easier to configure and manage than raw WireGuard.
