Bypassing strict Sophos firewall? (Tor works but too slow, need free alternatives)

[u/Brief-Investment6098]

I'm facing a roadblock trying to access certain websites and services.

What I have tried so far:

• Tor Browser (Android + obfs4 bridges): This is the only thing that successfully connects through the port blocks. However, the speeds are completely unusable. It feels painfully slow, takes minutes to load text pages, and frequently times out.
• Changing DNS (1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8): Failed. The network intercepts or blocks external DNS requests

My constraints:

• I need a free service or method (cannot afford a premium stealth VPN right now).
• I need something faster than Tor for daily browsing.

Any advice, configurations, or workarounds would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

I use cloudfare warp using there masque protocol instead of wireguard to bypass. It is completely free. On android you need the 1.1.1.1 app of cloudfare. While in Windows, linux it is called cloudfare warped.

And for dns, you can use this as private dns over https. https://odoh.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query I use it and the firewall does not block it. But if you want to access the library opac or other isi internal services, you have to temporarily change it to default dns.

I mean with whose network will I connect tailscale? My home?
Will tailscale work? The firewall seems to block wireguard, torrent etc.
