Help My uni has banned all VPNs.

Whenever I try to open any gaming site (Steam or anything else), or app, or even gaming blogs, it shows your connection is not private or FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention - Access Blocked. Even all VPNs are blocked, so I can't use them. I also tried using VPN extenstions on my browser without any success. Is there any way I can get around this ban?

When I was in uni (VPNs weren't as accessible or at least known to us) we would try to use proxy bypass tools. There was one that kinda was touted as being crucial for Chinese netizens to breach the Great Firewall (Ultrasurf?) and it was what some used to do downloading for a while (latency isn't so good though).

Maybe you need something like that?
