How to unblock my p2p connection?

[thatsnotme]

Im on a uni network and theyve blocked p2p as it seems. Ive read lots of info but every piece of it out there suggests that i use a proxy. thing is im already using a proxy to connect to the university network. or maybe i got it wrong, if so please explain what do i need to do. thanks

PS. im not sure where this topic belongs here or not so ill post it in 'security' as well. I hope it is not inappropriate to do so. If it is let me know, ill delete one of them

Well this is an issue of ports-and you can normally try and run your p2p program through a different port. Try a port checking program (many of the p2p programs help you test your ports) or website, and see what is open. The uni may have only blocked the most commonly used p2p ports, or else they may have blocked everything that isn't really needed for legit stuff.

Unfortunately you might not find a way around this.

If you have the benefit of being able to use a uni network you should respect the rules.
From my experience... p2p = viruses + hackers...
They have it blocked for a reason.
