VPN bypassing Firewalls (Wireguard DPI) (lemmy.today)
submitted 4 days ago by parameter2938@lemmy.today to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hey everyone, I was wondering about possible solutions to reach my home network when travelling. At the moment, I have a Wireguard VPN to my home router running OpenWRT. However, this is increasingly useless as Wireguard connections (even on port 80 and 443) are being blocked by hotels etc. (presumable DPI?). I have read about Shadowsock being a possible solution but struggled setting it up on my OpenWRT router.

Are there any other options? Preferably those that can run on an OpenWRT router, or on a server at home.

Any help is much appreciated.

The issue is more likely to be your port selection and UDP being discarded on networks with captive portals that generally only allow certain ports and traffic. Try using some other common UDP service ports like 53/DNS if not already in use, or maybe 5060/SIP, or even other common VPN ports.

Unless they're running L7 hardware in the hotels, I doubt they're doing any kind of packet inspection.

It works with port 5060, thank you so much!
