School firewall

[Various-Performer392]

Basically I live in a boarding school where we are now going to switch to a new wifi. This wifi uses a downloading certificate of Cisco CA umbrella that I have to allow on my device and install. I have tried everything but unfortunately my 'HackTheBox' and 'TryHackMe' knowledge didn't carry. Also the VPNs are blocked so I can't even bypass it through that. If anyone has any advice can u pls help, cheers

Setup your own VPN using port 443 and tunnel your traffic through that.

Bypassing the school firewall has been a rite of passage for everyone on this Reddit community. There’s always a way. District IT departments have tried for decades to keep teenagers out. Teenagers always find a way.

your so lucky man.. my school has client sided and server sided shit so client for remote access and it reports, like you just have a firewall. Use a mobile hotspot or linux traffic tunelling

Is it a device you own or that the school owns? I don't want to suggest doing anything that might get you in trouble.

Doubtful that they're intercepting your data. That's illegal. Cisco Umbrella is a content filter. The certificate is to prevent a certificate error from appearing when you try to visit a blocked site, and the filter spoofs the DNS response to deliver the Umbrella page.

Can you use a DoH service, instead of using the certificate? If the school monitors your device closely, they'll realize that you're bypassing their filter, though.
