Thanks for the quick response, didnt think it would be disallowed but it is after I skimmed the TOU. If i were to use a VPN + NAT Firewall would the school be able to see I am running a node? or would it all be encrypted?
Thanks
Thanks
You cold also consider running a node over Tor.
That's a pretty bad idea. There are registers with data on tor nodes and tey would be easy to detect that it isbeing used by tor.
Like this which took me about 3 seconds to find.
I doubt your school's that dumb. 22 is an SSH port, for crying out loud!
The IPs that I use at my school to tunnel past their proxy system are 109, 110 and 230.
I wouldn't recommend using your school wifi to run a node, because it's not practical, it requires alot of upload bandwidth and will get you caught.

If he uses a pruned node, with some fine tuning like giving 1 cpu to the node may make it silent enough, but still, he is true, you can't run a bitcoin node from your school wifi, maybe you can use a webwallet, electrum server, or the bcoin project (node in a browser) if you feel the need to use RPC you can still use bitcore.
Maybe if he does it over something like a lunch break then he could just petend he's usingit for something else like watching a youtube video or something although it would look odd that data is being pulled ever minute instead of being pulled instantly.
Theoretically if the SSL port is open then you could probably connect through the domain port or just the regular internet port.
Running over tor is a perfectly fine idea. Many nodes do it.
He didn't mention anything about his school not allowing Tor.
So you don't think the school will have provisions for tracking that, just as they have provisions for tracking VPNs? Obviously, if there's a tool that Ican find in 3 seconds to find tor nodes then connecting through it is going to be noticeable and blocked by the school for "protection of students".
I said nothing of the sort.
He didn't mention Tor tracking so it could be a possibility for him. Hypotheticals are fine, but they are just guesses and without solid information otherwise, all options should be considered. Likewise, it is important to give all the possibilities so that when others read this thread they are aware of the options.
