So are we gonna talk about how Fortigate successfully blocks all VPN's and Tor?

[DarkSpace-Harbinger 11]

If you are not aware, Fortigate allows network admins to enforce network-wide SSL inspection. In laymans terms it means any encrypted data they cannot read, they block.

 

Which in turn means every VPN out there, PIA, Nord, AirVPN, everything that runs on OpenVPN regardless of SSL or SSH tunnels is certainly blocked and impossible to bypass.

 

Is there ever going to be a fix for this? Or are we heading towards a time where VPN's and other circumvention becomes obsolete?

so they block https?  or do they work as MITM?

As a MiTM

This kind of restrictions are often used in companies and I don't really see the issue, you shouldn't be connecting to Tor or any (non approved) VPN at your workplace. Depending on your workplace, trying to go around the block can get you fired.

I think there is more of an issue with college campus and residential restrictions to "protect the students" from "improper use" etc of the internet. Expect particularly annoying when "inmates" are older than 18, which is "adult" in many countries.

Hello!

 

AirVPN (according to some reports) can bypass Fortinet filters using Eddie, even if the administrator enforced the proxy black list which blocks our bootstrap servers. Contact the support team via a ticket if you wish to experiment.

 

Kind regards
