  I’m trying to find an alternative to VPN to be used on a locked up Windows device I can’t install any apps on. And it should be easy enough to be usable by non-tech-savvy people. @moonpiedumplings@programming.dev already provided a good solution

    If I’m understanding, this is like the old trick of using Google translate to bypass web blacklists.

    But it won’t work for networks which implement whitelists.

      So, my high school used to have a domain/ip whitelist. The trick to get around whitelists is to take advandage of the fact that whole subdomains would be included in the whitelist, which would then also include any ip addresses.

      Any duckdns subdomain, or anything hosted on many cloud providers would be unblocked.

      So holy unblocker has a one click deploy, which can deploy to PaaS sites which would usually have their entire ip address space and subdomains included in the whitelist.
