My college uses Nebero proxy on the gateway computer. You have to first login to get net access. It is quite annoying since it is even blocking shortcodes.
I have been trying to get the Tor Browser package to connect to the net but it always get stuck at "Establishing an encrypted directory connection." I even tried the "My ISP blocks tor network" option but even that doesn't work. Maybe its because of the proxy but I'm no expert at it. How do I connect tor to get uncensored net access? Any help is appreciated.
