Well, i’m not sure wether this is the right subreddit for my question but here it goes - My college is Universidade Federal de São Carlos, quite a big one here in brazil, the problem is that unlike all the other colleges i know you cant use torrent, and connect in games, (and a lot of other stuff). My question here is, how hard is to bypass that, and if its possible, how bad is the connection going to be when i do it?
I have tons of other friends in other colleges that dont have blocked sites, or ports in their college internet.
Well, sorry for the poor english, and hope the subject isn’t too detached from this subreddit.
I would say try to set up a VPN and see how that goes. Some schools don’t block VPNs but it depends on how your school does things. My school lets us remove our computers and game consoles from behind the university firewall if we want so that we can game because students raised hell about it until the administration caved in.
Forget the VPN, use an SSH tunnel.
Essentially, you will have an SSH server set up at home (or buy one) that you dial in to from school and route your traffic through.
Are you using Windows? Google how to create an SSH tunnel with putty. If you’re connecting from Mac or Linux, SSH is built right into the shell.
Google search how to set up an SSH server and Dynamic DNS (or you can memorize your IP). Set them up and you’re good to go.
Connect to the SSH server via putty or bash shell and configure your browser to connect through a localhost proxy per instructions on the “creating an SSH tunnel with putty” search I mentioned.
Could you elucidate a little more about what a vpn is, and how i should do it?
thanks by the help so far
I guess this is what i was looking for. can more than one person ‘‘use’’ this tunnel i created? The connection i’m going to be using is pretty worst than what i have in my home right?
A VPN is also known as a Virtual Private Network. Essentially, a VPN is a tunnel through the internet. You could think of the internet as walking through a public place where people can see you. If you are using a VPN, no one even knows you are there (besides the provider of the VPN. Most times, when things are blocked, it occurs on port 80 (since this is the port that handles http traffic). VPNs use port 443 I believe. So your internet traffic will be occurring on a different port. Also, a VPN hides your internet traffic so no one between you and the webpage you are accessing (and the VPN provider) will know what your internet traffic is. I would start looking here on /r/privacy. There are some good resources here. This will get you started.
A few things to watch out for:
Some VPNs cost money and others are free.
Some will record you internet traffic and others won’t. So I would try to get one that does since you asked on /r/privacy and all 
I do not have too much experience with using a VPN for gaming, however. So I regret that I cannot help too much there. Someone else here might know. Maybe even try /r/AskReddit. Also, when in doubt, Google is your friend.
Good luck to you.
And thanks, this is really close to what i wanted to do.
Yes, more than one person can use it. They should be able to log into the same SSH account, but if not, you can simply create a new unix user and give whoever else you want to have access the login credentials.
SSH basically opens a session on the remote machine, so it gives you a command prompt as if you’re sitting physically at the machine.
I was just talking with my father (he knows THA stuff) and recomended me this - http://www.putty.org/ what do you think about it? Is it similar?
Thanks. This was the exact article I was thinking of linking but couldn’t think of where I saw it.
Yes, Putty is the client for Windows you’ll use to dial in to the server as an SSH session I was talking about.
