Problem connecting to free online VPN

[rakesh-the gilli]

why do you need VPN so badly from office? just curious..

Only a VPN connection worked [partially as it disconnected randomly, post #1] when i wanted to browse sites such as ign, truefootballmanager, starsports..etc. Facebook is allowed but these sites are blocked.

I have come across Sonicwall firewall back in 2010. I use to add https and voila any website could be browsed.

Update:
I tried SSH proxy tunneling method using Putty after creating a free bash shell account with cjb.net. It didn't work either. Websites couldn't be opened as each time the browser displayed an error, "Could not establish a connection". I had given dynamic port as 8080. I tried with 80, 443 ports too and it didn't work. Maybe they might have blocked SSH proxy too.

Someone kindly help me out

They might be using a DNS which can block vpns. You will have to change the DNS address in the office router to get the proxy working till then you will not be able to operate a VPN. For example DNS like open DNS ( 208.67.222.123) will block all proxy/VPN address. Just change your home router DNS to the above given DNS and try to use/install a VPN. You will not get connected. So its a waste of time to get a VPN working in your college computer. Or try to find
a way to change DNS address in office router...to something like 8.8.8.8

Is there a way i can confirm whether they use DNS servers that block VPN's.?

For example DNS like open VPN ( 208.67.222.123)

You meant OpenDNS right.?

How can i change the DNS address of the router installed in office. You meant the one connected with the server if i am not wrong. The system admin's workplace.! LOL ! Are our office sys admins that friendly, that they may allow an employee to just walk in to their system and allow the employee to tinker the router settings. Or did you explain it in another way and i misinterpreted. Kindly clarify me

Wow. Don't they block proxy servers.? You must be lucky

You can forget about messing with your office router unless you are the brother of sys admin. Well i cant say what they are using to block those sites, but modern routers have child locks (firewall) in which they can specify the sites they want to allow and block all other which are not specified. So if the router is of limits to you just forget about VPN thing.

Yeah i knew i can't get my hands on the router. So any other ideas.

Hi Ironman. Coudn't download Cyberghost normally as our firewall blocked their website saying this it comes under proxy avoidance category. So i searched for working proxies, used one and downloaded Cyberghost. Installed and started it but it couldn't connect to its servers displaying a message saying- "Could not establish a secure connection to the Cyberghost 5 network. Maybe cyberghost is blocked in your country or by your ISP". Searched their website for help. Under a post, they have mentioned they can try connecting to Cyberghost servers through UDP connection on port 9081 but i didn't know how to do that and here i am reporting it.

I have to ask is the fire wall similar to a ironport ?
