Hotspot Shield is a free openvpn software that can bypass webfilters and firewalls. In our workplace, we are preventing access to networking sites such as friendster, facebook, and etc. through a linux box running squid and iptables. However, some of our client users have manage to use hotspot shield in order access those blocked sites. any idea???

    Checkout the blog post @

    block-hotspot-shield-for-client-network

    This works for following firewalls(tested):
    [ul]ClearOS
    Zentyal
    pfSense
    [/ul]

    to block Hotspot shield Just make a single rule in firewall to allow only “HTTPS”……no other rule……..that’s it..
    your “HTTP” traffic is already handled by Squid with transparent mode enabled. B)
