Gaming school banned me from using wifi

Should have used a vpn...

Your best bet is forgetting and trying to reconnect, reconnect on a vpn, or flat out going to higher up at your school and tell them you can't connect for some strange reason

Also if your going to use a vpn use one from https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/, I highly suggest Mullvad because of they have the best security for a vpn out there, cheap, and have a nice wide variety of payments for anyone including mail in payment.
Don't be too cheap and use a free vpn though, that's just being stupid.

Depending on the network, this may not be an option.

Back in Uni they blocked certain VPN protocols which I used to remote access home, although strangely it depended on which network you were on e.g. my room allowed OpenVPN but not PPTP (which was better for SMB transfers) but the classrooms were the reverse.

Assuming Windows:
If you go to Device Manager->Network adapters->right click the wifi adapter->Properties->Advanced
Some wifi adapters allow you to change the MAC address there.
Otherwise, you need a special program to change it and I'm not sure what works for that.
In any case, you can use your phone or other device to download whatever program you need and copy it to your PC over USB.


Are you seriously suggesting free file hosts as an alternative to torrenting? Riddled with ads, slow download speeds and long wait times, dead links and occasional fakes/malware?
Free file hosts are a last resort when no other option is available. But they are a terrible user experience.

can the mac address be random?

can the mac address be random?

Mostly. You can use 11-22-33-44-55-66 if you like but it is in hex so only numbers 0-9 and letters A-F are usable.
