Advice Request Can't remember the name, but which VPN allowed me to connect to their public WiFi, even though they disallowed VPNs?

Does anyone know what I am talking about ?

I can't remember the name of the service but it was like a VPN but allowing you to safely use a coffee shop wifi when they wouldn't allow a vpn

Have you tried using the Advanced Search function?

If it's something you've posted before, you can add usernames into the search parameters.

If the coffee does not allow a vpn u can change the connection protocol. There are now many provider avaiable that for example can use SSL over udp or ofuscation so they dont even see you use a vpn.

Yes it was never posted on here. I found it a while ago. Thought I bookmarked it but it doesn't look like I did.

How?

How?

For example in the Airvpn client u can change the udp connection to a SSL one so if someone look at your connection, they think its a normal ssl connection and not a vpn. I cant explain it in a good way with my english. But google helps you there

Is it AirVPN? It's specifically designed to work around blocks

Not only Air does it. You can do it with Windscribe, with perfect-privacy and so on. It should be a standard function from a good provider.

VPN's designed to work around blocks utilize a variety of masking techniques. The problem with cafe or other place, they could have a UTM doing DPI and Application Layer Inspection. It's going to recognize the TCP snippets from the VPN client in most cases.

However some VPN providers even try to get around this. Switching to TCP and utilizing 443 can trick some. Some allow you to specify custom powers, and throw TCP traffic over Port 53 (DNS) bypassing filtration because a lot of IT guys don't filter DNS.

In many cases, it's a matter of trial and error to get something to work.

This service has a way to bypass basically anything. It wasn't cheap though.
