Here is another solution

Assuming
- you have VPS (Virtual Private Server) out of your restricted network
- on your PC you have install SSH
- your browser could be any which supports "socks5 proxy"

On you PC run

Code: Select all

ssh -fNTCD localhost:<PORT> <REMOTE-SERVER>

# example
ssh -fNTCD localhost:1080 root@1.2.3.4
It will create a local socks5 server (no user and pass needed) and you can connect to this via any browser supports configuring socks5 . FireFox has built-in support. Open Firefox , go to network setting, enable socks5 and add localhost and port.

You do not need a VPN for having a proxy
