I think IPSec or OpenVPN are probably the opposite of what WG is offering here... Microsoft's SSTP offering is actually not causing me any major frustration at the moment. I almost like using it. But, seeing these other comments telling tales of 600 megabit VPN wifi experiences... I'll check it out for sure.
They asked what ports we wanted (sigh), we said all, I suspect the ports were opened but MITM wasn’t disabled. Oddly it either passed through u mileages or it broke connections completely without inserting a fake cert.
Even more oddly GitHub was blocked but stackoverflow was allowed.
As we turned up in the vans on the Saturday morning and the recee team hadn’t clocked this (to be fair most https sites worked fine) we couldn’t get it changed - or the process for changing it was far too much given the other stuff we had to set up and the ease of the workarround.
I worked at a company that did this and it was a massive headache, every time I wanted to set up a new VM things would fail until I remembered I had to install their CA. I was an intern at the time, and they gave me some work that required an app that I couldn't configure to use their CA for the life of me. After a lot of failed troubleshooting I and ended up just running a SSH server on my home PC and creating a SOCKS proxy through that.
-Allow with no mitm (trusted sites)
-Block with no way around it(all residental IPs, pornsites)
-Allow but mitm the connection. The browser would present the classic ERR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER warning that most people would ignore. I couldn't figure out what criteria decided that a certain site needs the mitm treatment.
Hungary.
My theory is that it was installed to curb filesharing and then it snowballed into generic blocking of various things on the university network.

Ah that sounds sweet. Reminds me of the anecdotes I read from the pioneer age of computing that people tell here sometimes. Well, the place I studied at was nothing like that. >_>
