Campus IT blocked my game ports, any way through?

[iASCE]

• I live in campus and a game i was playing till last week got blocked by the IT center here.
• Normally the game won't (connect to servers) without me using Proxifier.
  Proxifier forwards all connections of a certain program through a given proxy.
• The game uses the following ports:
  - TCP 80 for (logging in)
  - TCP 11031 for (chat)
  - UDP from 11235-11335 to (connect to servers).
• The network in campus has a transparent proxy, but I had to specify it in Proxifier and apply it to the game in order to (connect to servers), however I was able to (log in + chat) but NOT (connect to servers) without Proxifier.
• After I investigated the matter, I found out that the above UDP ports are being blocked.
  I used this site to find that out.
• Right now, I'm only able to (log in + chat) but not (connect to servers), as if Proxifier was nullified.
• I can connect to certain VPNs but not others, and when I connect to one, I can actually play the game -of course without Proxifier- but with huge lags. I'd rather not play than suffer with those lags.

My question is, is there a way I can go through this block?
port forwarding, tunneling, etc.

Thanks.

Sure.
Set a static route in your box specifically for the address you are connecting to.
The point is they probably figured out the ports or just do outbound filtering in general to allow only certain destination ports.
However on modern cisco devices it is quite easy to do packet inspection on the outgoing traffic and blocking it on the fly.
(Not saying its a cisco speciality but they often lack proper linux ppl lol)
You could try using different ports, you could achive this by setting up a box somewhere with a decent upstream.
This machine allows incoming traffic from you and does a NAT, making it seem as if it was coming from there.

VPN will create overhead on the traffic thus inflating it and increase CPU cycles thus knocking down the performance.
You could try lowering the encryption.

I would personally setup a remote apache server and proxy the traffic ,this does not create as much overhead.

Thank you for the reply.


Sorry what do u mean by "box"?
Also I don't control what ports to use to connect to the game servers, it's the game developers who set those, unless u meant something else.


BTW do u mean by box, a remote machine where the internet is not censored?
if so, then where can i rent one? and how much does it cost?
also is the setup complicated/needs experience to configure ?
i also don't remember having the luxury/option to choose the encryption on the vpn im using, it's free after all, but i will look into that now.
OpenVPN doesn't work here, and I don't wanna pay for one that doesn't offer trail period for testing, if u have one that includes all of these features i'd be grateful if u shared it.


Edit:
I can choose whether to have :
- No encryption at all
- Optional encryption (I reset it to this)
- Force encryption (was set before)
- Maximum encryption

unfortunately, I can't choose the type of encryption -_-
I will let you know how is the connection after choosing "Optional encryption", I will also choose "No encryption" if that removes the delay [Since I don't care much about encryption when playing a game]

Box is slang for a computer/workstation.

ah thanks, i guessed so.. anyway, u know how much will it cost?

You obviously didn't read my reply
Depends on what specs you want.

You never popped a box before?

[iASCE]

@Pak_Track: xD i obviously dont need a super computer/workstation
i only need it for relaying my connection, so i only need it to have a good internet connection

Nope, not enough.
