Library blocking VPN

If they've done their job properly, there won't be a way to bypass the block.

Transport Layer Security(TLS) is used on most modern websites and prevents people on the same network segment as you spying on your internet traffic. It is an encrypted stream between your web browser and the web server.

Long story short, you don't need a VPN to prevent others from seeing your web traffic.

If someone is able to get a root cert on to your machine for that to happen, its more likely to be your VPN provider doing it considering you have to install their software…

In fairness they are using a VPN to hide their browsing, not sharing information on the thread is entirely consistent with that.

It's an ironic catch 22. Want information from others but won't share their own information.

Vpns are useful but have limits to what they hide.

None. The OP was in a library using their own portable machine, and the library's WIFI.

I wonder if Nord VPN would help? hasnt let me down, brilliant for BBC etc around the world. You could have three months free with my referral link - I also get a 3 month reward, so thanks in advance! Any questions just let me know!
