Make your own SSL VPN.

Due to this thread, I was seeking out ways to get passed my school's WiFi, out of intellectual curiosity. I figured that since SSL is what HTTPS uses (and schools generally won't block HTTPS), you can use that as your VPN protocol. They won't be able to distinguish your traffic from standard HTTPS traffic.

I setup my own Raspberry Pi VPN, but you can either use a third party VPN, or make your own. I honestly recommend making your own, as you're guaranteed the security, but that's just me.

OpenVPN provides a client called Private Tunnel which lets you connect to the Internet with any of their private VPNs, providing the IPs are not blocked by your school. You can try downloading Private Tunnel and see if it works.

Otherwise, I recommend setting up your own server, if you have the time. I followed this tremendously helpful guide on how to setup my own Raspberry Pi VPN. Check it out: http://readwrite.com/2014/04/10/rasp...e-web-browsing
