I would get in good with the IT Department.......(This should carry extra weight as I work in IT for a school district.)  | ||

a) Get close with IT department in hopes that they will unblock it for you. b) Set up a VPN/proxy b is easier, but it will probably affect your ping/latency pretty badly. | ||

The only way to do this is to find a service using a port other than the blocked ports the university blocks that the service re-routes traffic to the sc2 ports. | ||

1) You're a normal day school student wanting to play during computer lab time, lunch breaks, or even (naughty) class time on your laptop. In this situation, your IT department is unlikely to open the ports that you request. They do, after all, probably want to keep their jobs, and if you're found playing a game at times you're not meant to be, questions might be asked of them. One of the sneaky options is probably all that will work here (like a tunnelling service or proxy) 2) You're a boarding school student or otherwise living on campus for whatever reason, and wanting to play Starcraft 2 during after-school hours and during time when you otherwise have no school commitments. This you actually have a pretty good chance at. I think if you just go to the IT department, explain that this game requires specific ports unblocked, give them time and be patient while they make sure the ports don't allow access to any other programs. Given the overall nature of your post, I have a sneaking suspicion you're a dayschool student attending a school where you're provided laptops (or requested to own them in order to attend) wanting to play Starcraft during class when the teacher isn't looking. I'm not condemning you, lord knows I'd have done the same thing in your situation at your age, but being realistic its not likely you'll be able to pull it off. Although, assuming you can play Starcraft 2 on your laptop on your home network, you should be able to authenticate offline play and then just play vs AI or something. | ||

EKhem, I assume hes an adult, and as such, nobody is responsible for him - hes paying - he does whatever he wants - IT guys cant force him to learn 24h/d  School/uni networks are made that way (blocked ports etc etc) for a reason - bandwith and threat of viruses/spam/malware, nothing else. If he can provide a reasonable explanation for unblocking the ports - sc2 is safe, blah blah blah, low bandwith usage blah blah blah, thats how im spending my free time, I need to relax i You cannot ban me from that blah blah blah (smile 5 times, bring IT guys some donuts ) - should be allright. You cannot bypass blocked ports, only by tunneling or proxy, but that means a very high latency. | ||
