  • You’ll need to download the client off-network (have you tried the local library for that?) and put it on your PC. If you know how to use docker, you could set up the client via docker and dockerhub which I doubt is blocked, but you’d need to set docker up on windows which I have no experience with.

    You can also try wireguard on a non-standard port if there are further blocks. OVPN can also go over 443 which might help.

    Really though, it depends on how they’re blocking them. They could be blocking the protocol based on port or deep packet inspection, or they could just be blocking a list of VPN hosts. They could be doing both.

    If they’re just blocking hosts, you could set up a vpn relay on a host somewhere else, but that won’t help if they’re blocking the protocol.




  • Possibly, it would probably depend on the extractor and business - I would hope that most businesses would catch that the fields weren’t filled out during extraction if extraction is something they normally do. I would expect it’s something that happens with pdf extraction and they’d have a human go in and check it in those cases. Of course, for humans that doesn’t matter, so if only humans are viewing it, I think you’d be good.










  • There’s a few ways, but for example you can use a service like cloudflared which comes with its own certs (and then set up WAF rules to only allow your IP), or you could set something up using let’s encrypt via reverse proxy (for example, using Opnsense and the let’s encrypt plugin which actually validates domains that aren’t otherwise exposed to the internet, there by giving you full blown validated SSL).

    If you don’t care about validation errors then you can use nginx reverse proxies (locally, not exposing any ports externally) and apply self-signed certs through the proxy regardless of whether or not the software allows SSL config.
