      It’s blocked, you need to set up hysteria or vless/reality to avoid VPN blocks which means you need to run the client

          It’s not about where the connection is going, it’s about what the connection is. There are ways to detect connection based on type.

          The high school I went to could autodetect and block wireguard connections, and then it would kick you off of the internet for 10 minutes. No matter what VPN server I used, wireguard would be detected.

          Deep packet inspection and tricks like this can be used to automatically detect vpns. In order to “beat” them, you have you use a stealthier vpn protocol, that can disguise itself as more innocuous traffic. @[email protected] mentions some of the stealthy vpn protocols.
