Bypass College WIFI to access blocked websites

Hello Guys!,

There are plenty of ways to unblock/bypass college WiFi/Firewall. But here's the sure and most simplest way available till date.

       So for a little background, I've compiled the Linux version of Psiphon3 source from scratch which runs on the terminal using a simple JSON format config file. Many colleges require user and password authentication over the proxy so we simply run the psiphon binary with our proxy and authentication parameters supplied by the config file. I tried and tested this on my college network which uses a Squid Proxy Cacher and Cyberroam firewall
       You can build your own customized psiphon. The source code is on psiphon's Git repository - https://github.com/Psiphon-labs. Also available on bitbucket - https://bitbucket.org/psiphon/psiphon-circumvention-system
        By using this you can browse Facebook, Youtube and all blocked websites.


         So lets get started with the steps assuming you're already on Ubuntu Linux.


Step 1:
- Download the psiphon package from https://www.dropbox.com/s/91aiq6x3cwyw1cv/psiphon.zip?dl=0
- Extract the zip file on your Desktop (you need to extract it on the Desktop because in the next steps, the commands are dependent on that path)


Step 2:
- Open Terminal (Shortcut Ctrl + Alt + t)
- Go to the extracted psiphon/client directory by using the command:

$cd ~/Desktop/psiphon/client 

- Now change permissions of the script ConsoleClient to make it executable by using the command:

$chmod 777 ConsoleClient

Step 3:
- Open the config file to enter your college authentication parameters and Proxy IP. Use the following command:

$gedit psiphon.config

  Edit the parameter UpstreamProxyUrl. You need to enter Your username, password, IP, port on the line to something like this example
Before:

"UpstreamProxyUrl": "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IPADRESS:PORT/"

After: 

"UpstreamProxyUrl": "http://6003:65411@7.1.1.35:3128/"

    This completes the config file so now you can exit gedit.


Step 4:
- Run the ConsoleClient script. Goto the client directory:
  Open Terminal and type

$cd ~/Desktop/psiphon/client

  Then type

$./ConsoleClient --config psiphon.config

  This will start the ConsoleClient and the tunnel will be established. The client is listening to port 8080 so we need to configure all browsers to send traffic on that port

Step 5:
- Configure your browser to send all traffic onto the 8080 port
- Open your browser and configure the proxy settings as follows:

- Done!
  Now you have unrestricted access to all websites on your college network!
