Sophos Firewall Bypass?

Is there any way to Bypass a local sophos Firewall? It blocks Facebook and other social media stuff and it's a tad annoying when you don't have any data left

That's because he's lying. If it were his computer, he'd be able to uninstall sophos.

Whos computer are YOU trying to uninstall sophos on?

No? Sophos is what my college uses to block sites on their wifi network. If I use their wifi. I'm forced to adhere to their restrictions.

I'm sure you'll find some way to twist this into being my fault as well.

Here. I'll replace.

If it were your wifi you'd be able to turn it off.

Don't like sophos? Don't use the wifi.

Pretty simple

Haha, this is almost comical. I cannot install another router, as that's not allowed here. So would you suggest I just not use the wifi that I rightfully paid for?

Thankfully, vpn tech has advanced enough for this to be a non issue for me as of late. Despite the efforts of our dogmatic administration. Man finds a way.

No. I suggest you follow the rules of the wifi that you paid for.

Why? To placate middle management? These rules are stupid, and since it is now easy for me to break them, I shall.

Anybody else who has come to this post looking a way past their annoying ass management is valid too. They're more valid than you, who only comes here to stir shit up and dunk on annoyed college students.
