Can't connect to AirVPN at my local library

[johnnymac 0]

I can connect just fine to AirVPN at home or on public wifi at coffee shops, etc. However, when I try to connect at my local library, it will never connect. I tried both UDP 443 AND UDP 80, neither worked. I'm guessing the library is blocking it somehow even though I can browse the web fine so I know I have connectivity. How do I bypass the library's blocks?

Yes they are blocking vpn traffic, my work does the same

[zhang888 1065]

You should try TCP and ports 80/443. Most definitely should work, unless they have mandatory transparent HTTP proxy.

Yep tried and would not connect, it just sat there and tied to connected eventually timed out.

got on a open network connected right away.  I figured the were using some outside proxy

To add some more info on this, I can connect to my work VPN at the public library, but not AirVPN.

I think I will try TCP as zhang888 suggested.

Take a look if it´s using a proxy inside Internet options, and if it´s using an username/password. If that´s the case then use Openvpn to connect through a proxy server, placing this ip and port, and/or username/password with tcp 443.

You can also use Tor with bridges.

I understand that you can get admin privileges. If not use another VPN with ssh tunneling through a proxy.
