Hi everyone, I'm wondering if an organization can prevent VPN usage on their network. At school, I've seen streaming slow down when I connect through a VPN, but when I don't use it, the content loads quickly. I tried using a VPN today and it didn't work, and it seems like multiple people are affected. Is this related to IT blocking VPNs or is there another reason?

Schools often restrict VPN access. - Moved to Networking section. Be mindful we can't assist with bypassing the VPN.

Only understanding which online servers connect with VPNs allows an IT admin to manage traffic effectively. Your school’s IT team might already have compiled a list of servers to restrict, adding them to the router blocking list. If you’re looking to bypass these restrictions, we can’t assist you.

They seem aiming to enhance the connection. Last week's performance was around this... http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/3994379401

This appears to be a weak performance, possibly due to competition for available slots. It's straightforward to prevent standard ports and methods from being used.
