That's the closest you will get to having your vpn as it uses tcp 443 which is also used for https.
Pretty much detectable by any worthwile security providers (think PaloAlto, etc) but if tcp 443 is blocked, then it's a massive business impact.
Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I don't think anyone closes port 443!
Everything can be detected, unless one is disconnected from the net. However, if there is no special interest in specific person, this works pretty well.
Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Sure, but if the VPN traffic appears to be HTTPS then it will not be blocked.
It looks like you don't understand a lot of things. OpenVPN is not an app, tor is not an app. Better to say they are services, and they do not run on a single host, but on several hosts (different parts of them). Some parts of these tools are just a special kind of network config (like firewall, routing), some other parts are just (protected) network communication between two hosts.
So can you tell me how can any kind of censorship detect and exactly what?
Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
You right. OpenVPN and Tor are easily detected by a firewall like FortiWeb. Even older models of Fortinet devices can block them.
