One option would be configuring the SSH server to listen on port 443. Some proxies do not actually inspect the packets that are going through and just filter traffic based on the target port. Port 443 is used for HTTPS traffic, so such proxies will definitely allow it. If you are willing to sacrifice the possibility of hosting an HTTPS website on your Droplet, you can give that a shot. To do so:
/etc/ssh/sshd_configin a text editor# Port 22by deleting the#and replace22with443.sudo systemctl restart sshThat’s not the best option but it’s the quickest and easiest to set up. Another route would be setting up a VPN, but again, that also depends on how your proxy works. If it actually inspects packets and blocks VPNs, there’s not much you could do:
The university I go to blocks OpenVPN, but not IKEv2 which Also uses. So, I’d recommend spinning up a new Droplet to experiment with different methods and figure out what works best for you.
