Still in Uni, I remember the first day, when I got the class wifi credentials, i found out one app i use was blocked. A basic messenger app. Why am I trying to be spooky, it's WhatsApp. Other sites like instagram, Twitter, Snapchat etc were also blocked. I used none of the other blocked sites. I still remember that as soon as I realised it, i installed orbot to tunnel my WhatsApp traffic through tor. It worked as expected. I don't have many people texting me, but when someone does it's usually urgent and not anything spam. So people noticed it and held me as some tech genius who defeated the system, little did they know I just dug the ground and made a tunnel. They still are distracted, sometimes, but it's fine. Atleast for me.
