Blocked by Sonic Wall?
I think sonicwall is blocking steam. I am not admin of network so i am not able to change the firewall but I am admin of this computer. my VPN doesn't work either so Im wondering if they blocked a protocol. Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
GreenPlayz

Lol its a school wireless network XD. I dont think the admin will agree to unblock it. Is there anyway around this? My friends and I want to play during lunch later today

1. Use a VPN
2. Use your mobile phone as an access point, but the latency will suck
3. Just play in a local network, that is pull a cable between your both PCs

I would love to do this but my phone carrier doesn't provide a free hotspot. You would need to pay $30 a month and I dont think im willing to do that right now. Is there any other way?

Haven't you said you want to play with a friend? Were you going to play on one PC, or what?

Unless you have a working magical device, forget it then.
