Campus Network Surveillance

shit, what's this featured called? I can't think of a good search term.

I would essentially base it off of this:
bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155000

you don't need archlinux specifically, just any linux host to set it up

Did NOT read that bit.
Yeah mate, buy a 4g dongle.

What a good goy you are.

Oh you mean by spyware that it has its own VPN client, right? Hmmm. I've seen that before but never attempted a way around it because they didn't care too much about our activity.

The biggest problem I saw is Cisco-based VPN clients denying local network access on client-side and preventing any local route modifications. I don't know what the state of those clients on Linux is, but anyhow a Linux host is certainly best bet to start off with.

Using a VM or container is your best bet like someone said, though how to do it exactly may depend on their client. Assuming they even have a Linux client. If you need a Windows machine to be the client, that would suck (even as a VM), though might still be possible.

I used a VPN and pirated shit all day. No problems.

...

Holy shit. I just log into wifi using my student account like I log into any wifi network. I've even clicked some shit I should've never clicked on and even loaded the masterchan homepage. Nothing happened.

...

My university wasn't too bad by the standards of campus internet. They didn't really care as long as you didn't torrent. Plus there was an open-secret DC++ hub on the intranet that had terabytes of cool shit so I spent a while combing through that.

That's fucked up. Get a seedbox.
Tor is pointless when you don't have full control between computer and Internet anyway.

...

I suggest getting a cheap PC and install a 2nd NIC, and installing the spyware on that, just to make sure you don't misconfigure anything.

If your uni is anything like mine, you won't have to install the spyware if you run a Linux distro.

Connect via TCP. This way your traffic will look like plain ordinary SSL. The only way to find out you're connected to a VPN is by gathering the IP addresses of all of Mullvad's exit nodes and I'm not sure if the sysadmin team has the time to do that.

Colleges are basically expensive prisons at this point. Some of them are even structured like prisons.

My uni has a firewall called cyberoam.
Shit does not allow any SSH. Most of the time they use it to block Internet connection as whole.

I haven't noticed any firewalls on my university's network, but it is possible there is some level of surveillance on it. But the network for my apartment has retarded filters in the DNS server to block "porn" and "obscene content". You can't change the DNS unless you use something like a VPN. They even blocked Holla Forums before I sent a complaint to them explaining that Holla Forums is kind of like reddit and tumblr, and that some parts of the sites are for porn, but not all of it. Thank god Holla Forums uses SSL, otherwise they might have been looking at what I've browsed here. Since then I've used a VPN basically 24/7.

I had a router in my dorm freshman year even though I wasn't supposed to. I registered the MAC address as an Xbox 360 so it could connect to the network without needing to authenticate, then I and all my friends would just connect through my router. The network admin started checking MAC addresses after I wasn't a freshman anymore but you could still just spoof the MAC of a real Xbox or any game console and I'm sure it would still work. He was too lazy to analyze network traffic unless someone was causing enough problems to investigate. I started working at the tech center at my uni 2 years later and told him all my freshman year exploits and he was kinda butthurt but was like at least you had it configured right since normally when students try to hook up routers on campus it fucks all kinds of shit up.

What the actual fuck. It's an apartment, why do they give a shit what you're looking at in your own home?

No his shit is fucked up. What he was bitching about was people plugging a 'switch' port into the network and broadcasting dhcp. If he wasn't such a poser sysssy admin he would block that kind of shit so ppl cant fuck up the network.

And obviously your a tard too for not knowing to tell him.

college kids are just treated like kids who need to be coddled these days.

haha, I tried to set up a wireless bridge and ended up broadcasting DHCP and DNS, when I finally got banned I looked into the logs and I had a big fat list of networked devices and all the websites they wanted to visit, while simultaneously downgrading everyone on my router to dialup speeds.

See the libtards pushing college safe spaces and that kind of shit. College students are increasingly emotionally immature, they're adults in paper only, so much that the college years are now a second adolescence. They're now demanding more oppression in the form of coddling, and the authorities are more than happy to oblige.

In times like this I'm happy to be in Mexico, where if you were lucky to be born in a rich family you're expected to become a grown man by your first or second college year. If you're poor, you don't even get to be a teenager, you have to grow up fucking fast if you want to survive the gritty streets of Ecatepec.

wat

Even if you're not a Jew, you're a Jew.

I wanted a router to connect to the wifi and give ethernet to my pc, I got it kind of working but everybody else on the network got to do a roundtrip to my router, even worse they also sent me all their DNS requests for some bullshit reason.

So my school requires my student ID and password to use the wifi. They're very strict with what we can't do on it and pirating and VPNs will fuck me over if I'm caught, but I don't really know how deeply they're monitoring my shit. Any advice on ways I can get away with doing things that might get me banned without them noticing? Say for instance I use IRC with a client (weechat) and download via XDCC, how will that show up on their end?

Is there any other site that gives me good info/advice on freedom-respecting softwares and tricks other than chans? I don't want my college to know that I am autistic.

Are you quite sure you understand what they are saying regarding VPNs? They are probably saying you aren't allowed to run a VPN server inside their network.

The spyware bit sounds like bullshit too.

If I can plug the Fucko thread. There probably is a few links that could be of use.

That does not have any useful link to tech-deiscussion sites. Should I browse ars-technica or lurk on distro wikis?

Try not pirating or using a VPN.

Only jews try to sell bitstrings for billions in profit. Go cry to the MPAA more about how these evil pirates are making your absurd profit margins shrink by a few percent, I'm sure they'll fire off a few hundred more DMCA censorship requests and sue a few more people for more money than exists.

Meanwhile, people who actually understand how the industry works now will continue to do just fine. Music was a product, now it's a service.

Their proxy will just see an HTTPS stream if you're connecting to a VPN, which looks like almost every site now days. I'm not sure what XDCC looks like, but I assume that it's not filtered because you are probably the only person on the campus who knows what IRC even is.

i bet you hate electric freezers because they killed the booming ice industry

There is a crooked laundromat and several cancerous coffeeshops near where I live that do this. Happening when?

Burger here, ours do. Friend wasn't careful and got nicked and expelled over a few bootleg movies. not even cheese pizza, just mainstream Hollywood shit Don't make his mistake, these bastards want your money and they don't want to devalue the already plummeting worth or their diplomas any further by giving another to a paying student. They will try to fuck you. Don't let them.

passthrough

Um, i2p isn't locked to one specific port

VPNs use a different port than HTTPS. If their admin knows his shit he could see it.

you can choose the port, user. If you're using free software, at least.

...

some info from american college i've been to

tl;dr it's a school network, what did you expect?

oh last notes.

future ideas / projects ?

what do you goys think, any ideas?

yee m8, OP of here, i've heard of that kind of scenario at my uni, it must be common for people to bring consumer routers and try to fug shit up. this why all DNS requests are blocked from getting to WAN, to stop that kind of crap. the plebs could just buy a dumb ethernet switch for much cheaper but they are too dumb themselves, also they want wifi without le passwords, they may be limits on how many devices can be registered per student.

as for services, to the OP p2p such as bittorrent, TOR, Retroshare, Tox, ipfs, all work fine on the client workstations or machine with cloned MAC address to trusted equipment. you really shouldn't tell the sys admins about shit even if you are friends with them. they make good references if you have talent. ethics in the industry are real, people don't like kids who think they are entitled to use any machine just because there's a wire connecting it to your machine. i've never had issues with software tbh fam. it helps to be unregistered and run sessions on tmpfs.

pic related, the school sys admin might have friends or obligates to share data.

just finished first year of my uni in uk.
stayed connected to vpn most of the time not had any problems just connect and go.

Or are you telling me each digital copy takes an appreciable investment to produce?
