I want to use IRC/SSH at school but both seems to be blocked. I assume they blocked all ports outside of 80 and 8080. Is there anyway to get around this? Maybe a proxy? How would I set this up?

    There’s a few WebSocket solutions out there. Basically looks like a normal HTTPS connection to something that uses a WebSocket, so unless they’re decoding TLS and the HTTP session and somehow recognizes that this is a VPN and block it, it’ll likely go through.
