So if you have a VPN configured to connect over UDP port 53 instead of the default port 1194 then you should be able to bypass the restrictions.īasically what you have to do is setup a OpenVPN server on a public server and then configure it to use port 53 instead of the default 1194. What allows us to do a UDP tunnel is the fact that all port 53 UDP traffic is allowed out to anywhere on the web, without any kind of authentication. On a lot of hotspots/firewalls/proxies the system waits for the Name server to respond and when it gets a response it redirects you to a login page or redirects you to a web proxy. The way it works is that when you try to browse to a website your system sends a request to a name server on UDP Port 53. So don’t try to use this for anything illegal or to browse porn at work. Keep in mind that using such methods on a network will not endear you to your network administrator and if caught might cause you trouble. In such cases you can use UDP Tunneling to bypass any restrictions. In normal cases the firewalls in place usually allow outgoing connections to pass through but in some cases even outbound connections are blocked or you need to pay for access. Usually that’s not a problem but at times you need to be able to bypass the restrictions. A lot of times when you connect to a wireless hotspot or a network there are restrictions in place which prevent you from accessing the web without some sort of authentication or restrict the kind of connections allowed.
