Would a VPN surpass firewall rules for streaming music?

Asked a year ago

Hi, our school has blocked anyone from being able to stream music on the network connection. Could using a VPN to encrypt my network and hide my IP address be sufficient to get passed the firewall?

If the firewall is set on your school's router, then you won't be able to use a firewall to stream music. This is because the firewall will see your VPN connection, but treat it just like any other computer from the network. A solution would be using a network that isn't from your school.

How do I find the cheapest rates for car rentals using a VPN?

Which VPN can I use to increase torrenting bandwidth?

I love to torrent movies and games, but sometimes the bandwidth is too small for me to download something and watch it on the same night. I've configured the download speed to unlimited, but it's not much help if I'm throttled by my bandwidth. Please help.

Will using a VPN prevent a Conti ransomware attack?

Hi there. I have started taking steps to preventing ransomware attacks on my laptop, one of these steps being using a VPN while using public Wi-Fi. However, I was told by a friend that Conti ransomware attacks are different to usual ransomware attacks due to the fact that this type of attack encrypts files at a high speed. I am therefore curious as to whether a VPN is effective for preventing this type of ransomware attack given how fast it encrypts files? Thanks in advance for any responses.
