Yes. My university was using Fortigate back in the day and it had 3 behaviours
-Allow with no mitm (trusted sites)
-Block with no way around it(all residental IPs, pornsites)
-Allow but mitm the connection. The browser would present the classic ERR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER warning that most people would ignore. I couldn't figure out what criteria decided that a certain site needs the mitm treatment.
- gspr 5y agoAh yes, exactly the kind of intellectual freedom to explore and tinker you'd want to flourish at a university. Better block it! Wild guess: US?
- xvector 5y agoEh, if you care about privacy you shouldn't be browsing porn without a VPN or tunnel to a trusted server, "intellectual freedom" or not
- no_time 5y agoIn theory, if the tls connection wasn't tampered with, i.e the cert issuer is a party you trust, it shouldn't be a problem apart from the dns query.
- gspr 5y agoI was referring to residential IPs.
- no_time 5y agoYep, by far that was the biggest PiA because I was hosting a lot of things at home.
- no_time 5y ago>Wild guess: US? Hungary. My theory is that it was installed to curb filesharing and then it snowballed into generic blocking of various things on the university network. >intellectual freedom to explore and tinker you'd want to flourish at a university. Ah that sounds sweet. Reminds me of the anecdotes I read from the pioneer age of computing that people tell here sometimes. Well, the place I studied at was nothing like that. >_>
