cisco clean access

So, My new college is absurdly gay. Theyve installed some cisco clean access shit that it makes us download to connect to the internet, only problem is that it blocks vent, any internet game; including xbox live; and any torrent. I can understand the torrent block but.. blocking wow and vent and crap is just gay. So.

How do I beat this?

Save me 4chan!

1) you can go out and buy a vpn router, set it up at your home, then use it to tunnel out. my school does the same thing, but i plan on beating them next semester with a vpn tunnel out. they supposedly blocked it, but my roommate (ligitamently, he does tech support) tunneled out all the time. you would need some help to set it up, but i'm 90% sure it can be done. might have pretty bad lag though, not sure how that would work.

2) just go talk to them about unblocking those ports. most of the time, they are semi rational people, and with a little coaxing can be convinced to unblock ports that are used exclusively for stuff like xbox live. they might need some coercing, but you can probably do it. either way, best of luck.
