    Don’t most work Wifi networks prevent VPN use?

      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.

        If only it was that easy…

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

            I’ve done both. I wrote my own scripts to generate the WG config files to handle variations in configure I needed to make for my different networks (masking, IPv6, cross multiple WG networks).

            After converting to Tailscale, WG is just an extra level of hassle I can now easily avoid.

      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.
