So i moved into halls last weekend, managed to get on the internet, insanely fast (100mb down).

Tried out Steam, couldnt connect, couldnt get any other online games to work, not even minecraft (cant even login to it, have to play offline mode).

I did some searching and stumbled upon a combination of Your Freedom and Proxycap but its incredibly slow and everything seems to be crashing ie steam, heroes of newerth when using it.

Any other ways around the port blocking? I literally would be happy with just opening up steam and letting it update so i can play stuff in offline mode for the time being.

Oh and ive tried tethering my phone, i was able to access stuff through the browser eg google.com but couldnt get steam to connect, let alone FileZilla :/

I've set up my VPS as proxy for me to use at school, and it works well for web browsing, and I assume it would work well for Steam too. I log in with root shell (you'll have to find a windows equivalent) using "ssh -D1080 -p 443 root@<myip>" and from there I set the browser to work with a socks proxy on localhost port 1080. Nearly no one blocks port 443, so I assume this will work if, again, you find a way to do so within Windows.

On Windows, you could do the same using Putty.

My VPS runs CentOS but Im running Windows. I will do some searching on Google to find a guide about how to set it up

One way would be to set up a VPN server on your VPS, then dial in to the VPN and use that as your route out. Similar to a SSHunnel.
