Accessing hackforums on a blocked network - Rhinemann - Nov 11, 2016
Well after returning to hackforums I had to return to University and we use a registration network called Keysurf which either Hackforums blocks or they block hackforums. I emailed via support on Hackforums and was told that it was not going to be unblocked.
My question is does anyone have a way to access hackforums which is actually allowed on this network? I'm not sure if proxies are but that's my only option.... If proxy is the only way, which ones work? Willing to pay for the proxies ofc...

Either use a VPN or proxy.

Just tunnel to a residential IP of your own or subscribe to a service. I set up a box at home for my brother and I'm technically illiterate.
It'll just look like a P2P connection and you probably won't break any campus rules.

Do you know which are not blocked? I know HF blocks a lot of proxies. Would prefer not to use a VPN.

I was accessing via a VPS but it was too slow. I'll probably go with an unblocked proxy so i can isolate it to one of my browser tabs without interfering with my work and stuff.

There are many, many proxy IPs blocked on this board. Way too many to list. Don't know if there's an actual list of the ones that are blocked. If there isn't just test each one you use (make sure you're logged out of HF before you attempt to connect with a proxy/VPN).

If that VPS IP wasn't blocked, I would suggest setting up a VPN server on it and connecting through it. At least you wouldn't have to deal with remoting into it.

This ^.
Just purchase a RaspberryPi if you don't want to keep your computer on 24/7 and setup a VPN server on it.
Softether is very easy to use although I prefer just openvpn.
And browse HF from wherever you want.
Setting up a VPN on a VPS is a bad idea because although the IP may not be blocked right now, it will be in the future as Omni updates his blocklists.
