I’m travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I’m staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can’t use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I’ve tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and it never connects.

How can I circumvent this, if at all? I’m staying for several weeks, so this is a pretty bug issue.

    What can you do if the school has a whitelist of domains they accept HTTPS (443) connections for?

      That’s got to be extremely rare. Not much you can do in that case. But they will hit many problems with that approach.

        I will try to investigate further, but for instance if you go to duckduckgo.com, it says something like “this website is not on our whitelist, let us know if you think you need access. It’s very annoying, so I avoid the WiFi when I can.
