Hey Sup Forums, just moved into a campus apartment for college...

Hey Sup Forums, just moved into a campus apartment for college. I'm paying for an internet connection and I'm looking to circumvent the networking rules they have. They're using Bradford Persistence Agent and it seems to automatically end my connection if I plug a router into the Ethernet jack.

The rules state that apartments can't have wireless routers or access points, but that's a bunch of junk considering half of my devices are wireless, including the Kindle I bought for college textbooks. If any networking junkies can help me figure out a way around it, I'd be super grateful.

Oh, the reason why I want to do this is because they force you to install bloatware antivirus that is complete garbage compared to what I have.

Install Gentoo.

Try to disable DHCP server on your router if you have. Maybe it will not solve the problem, but try.

>Bradford Persistence Agent

just uninstall it if its not required, or don't live in the university accommodation get a house.

>Entire Apartment Building on Google Fibre
>Covered in my rent
>Even have a static IP for my specific apartment

Life is good.

>static ip
>good

lol, if i had a static IP i would be banned form half the internet by now

Not everyone is subhuman garbage like yourself.
LOL

>they force you to install bloatware antivirus
lolwut?
You actually did this?
You are a literal cuck, hope you know that. Enjoy the tech department remote viewing your screen and watching you beat off to tranny porn.

Alright, I'll give that a try. Hopefully it works. It's too bad they don't make a hub that has wifi because the apartments allow that.

Well, I got around it on my computer, but I still want to hook the router up to it for wireless access.

Oh hell no, I didn't install any of the shit they want to force you to install. Again, this is the reason I want to bypass that shit and just use my router.

Never been on a dorms connection before. There is obviously a way it detects the router if as you said it shuts off only when the router is attached.
with the router plugged in, can you log into the router? If so, go to the routers test page and using the router (not cmd/terminal) try to ping 8.8.8.8

Place some old shitty laptop by the network outlet and use it as a wireless router. Run their spyware on the laptop if you have to. And for the love of god get a VPN.

Alright, I'll give that a try as well.
That seems like a pretty good idea. I remember one of my friends who lived at a dorm did the same thing, using his laptop as an access point. I guess I'll have to do that for my wireless stuff.

wont happen. i run bradford at work and i also am on the red team. as long as it can communicate with a switch correctly it WILL detect you as rogue and drop you onto a different vlan. vlan hopping wont work unless the switch ports are misconfigured.

well i take it back. YOU yourself will not be able to circumvent it, but there are multiple easy ways to do what you want, it just doesnt involve circumventing that type of security

Or a RPi if they allow any device that's not a router.

what what is a >router

stop, you have no idea what you are talking about and no idea how bradford works.

>static IP
>good
pfff

Okay, so said malware only runs on windows, no RPi then.

Any insight on how to work with it? Is it possible for them to make an exception for my apartment?

I mean, what's the point of having internet if I can't hook all of my devices onto it?

Seriously, install any linux distro - most places with this shit have an exception for non-Windows PCs.

Maybe if your computer has a wireless adapter you could try hosting an ad hoc network

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NAME key=PASSWORD

then

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

to stop it

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

>Paying for college-supplied internet
>Not having the ability to get your own separate connection from an ISP

I'm glad that the college I went to allowed anyone living in residence to do this.

1. You're an adult.
2. When you're living in a campus apartment, you are essentially in a home, your own home, that you (or someone by proxy) pays the university for. THEY get paid for YOU living there, it isn't some sort of fucking service.
3. As an adult in a home, you have the right to do what the fuck you want within reasonable limits, including having fucking unrestricted, simple internet access.
4. Given all this, go fucking bitch and complain that you have the right to have real goddamn internet access with no retarded restrictions or forcing some nanny botnet on your systems.

Stop being a fucking pussy, universityfucks. Man up and demand your goddamn rights. Time to grow up.

They have to lanjew because idiots like to hook up three routers per house, run servers out of their dorm, ddos from the university's connection, and do stuipd shit like stream 4k video on 5 devies, ALL at the same time.

This is a problem of sysadmin dumbfucks who can't into shaping and QoS, not student's.

maybe, but that would involve throttling the internet which would piss everyone off.
Also allowing students to run servers and shit is a liability issue.
Most campuses will have you sign a thing saying you wont host shit, although with the firewall and everything I dont see how they could in the first place.

Install connectify. It lets you run a wifi hotspot using your laptop. Hook that up via ethernet and enable the hotspot from there. It should be undetectable since it's forwarding and receiving traffic like it's coming from the laptop.

And how exactly is that different from any other ISP?

>Also allowing students to run servers and shit is a liability issue.
How exactly is it a liability issue? It's not an issue for normal ISPs, why would it be for university ISPs?

murrica

>maybe, but that would involve throttling the internet which would piss everyone off.

Throttling? There's always fair queuing.

It's possible to host servers behind firewalls. That's how most games and Chrome Remote Desktop do work.

you are quite literally retarded

>How exactly is it a liability issue
Im not sure what a colleges internet would qualify as, but an isp has lawyers and stuff.
At a college/university, they have basically gathered a ton of children and given them the internet all in one place. When they were at their parents house this wasnt an issue, but imagine if the riaa saw literally millions of torrents hosted from their connection. Who would be responsible? What about cp servers? Needle in a haystack.

Say some kid puts in wifi, and gives their idiot friends the password. How do you know who to kick out of college? I guess the internet renters but it doesnt look good when he goes around crying about it.

Also if they are charging for the internet not allowing routers stops people from getting one connection and sharing it to hundreds of other people.

>Im not sure what a colleges internet would qualify as,
They qualify as ISPs, just like everyone else who sells internet connections to customers.

>At a college/university, they have basically gathered a ton of children and given them the internet all in one place.
I know Americans like to treat any and all people as children, but university students are very much adults, even by clapistani standards.

>but imagine if the riaa saw literally millions of torrents hosted from their connection. Who would be responsible?
The customers renting that connection, of course. Exactly the same way it works for every other ISP. Do you think Comcast is responsible if you torrent? Protip: they aren't.

>What about cp servers? Needle in a haystack.
No different than any other servers. The subscriber who rents that connection is responsible for what happens on it, not the ISP.

>Also if they are charging for the internet not allowing routers stops people from getting one connection and sharing it to hundreds of other people.
And why would that be a problem? I can give access to hundreds of people to my home internet connection if I want. My bandwidth, my responsibility.

Most smartphone ISP plans force data to be a part of your plan. Obviously this way depends on if that is true for you or not and how much they give you.

If so you can just use WiFi tether. If your complex charges you for internet, it is arguable to check this out since you are using your money to get a better service where nothing is blocked. Only thing is most smartphone ISP plans won't let you run servers but in your case your landline option probably wouldn't either.

I'll give this a try. I'm kind of pissed because apparently someone has a Netgear wireless router near me, which I assume is up and running. They must be using it.

If you have a router with NAT then there's literally no way it could possibly distinguish it from a regular client

>Do you think Comcast is responsible if you torrent? Protip: they aren't.
They have to forward you the angry letters though. I can see somebody not wanting to bother with that.

LAN->Linux distro (openwrt or some shit) with encrypted VPN connection->windoze with the shitty software on it->WAN->VPN->internet

run the linux and windoze in VMs on a server.

Buy an old optiplex or other desktop off of craigslist, install gentoo, and add a 2nd NIC. then plug in a wifi AP to that.

you are using their internet, you follow their rules. end of fucking story.

if they require the nac agent to be on the network you will not be able to run a device without it. there are cases with setups like cisco cleanagent or whatever it is where they would just let linux devices through, but it thats not the case you are stuck.

someone already posted the correct answer further up in this thread, but its obvious you will lack the proper abilities to pull it off and will continue to shit up this board with your childrens tier problems.

and if they dont want you to host a wireless ap and they actually cared, they would be able to find your room in fucking minutes.

and no, nothing will allow you to successfully host stupid servers out of there either, you will always be bound by their nat rules.

just ask them to whitelist the mac address of your xbox so you can play games and install the agent on your fucking devices. just live your fucking life

Dude, fuck off. If it affects my study and I'm paying for the internet, I should be able to at least create my own wireless setup for myself.

>Not subhuman garbage
>Posts on Sup Forums

You can use a router and set it to non discoverable, so it won't appear, and you can log into the WiFi by typing the ip down

>letting your marxist university install a botnet

Their network, their rules.

>demand "your" rights
>over someone else's property
The owner tends to assert their rights quite decisively in response, so good luck with that.

>tfw my university is free for all except for illegal things

You can only access the network once your device is registered via MAC address. Pretty good system.

Feels gud man.

Lucky dude, all this bullshit I have to go through and I don't even want to torrent or shit.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised too, as it's a State University.

Although in reality, it's not the institution that matters, it's the people.

>someone else's property
I'm sorry, can you fucking read with any goddamn comprehension?

Apparently not. Just fuck off until you grow up and learn how to read like an adult, okay?

>demand "your" rights
>over someone else's property
The owner tends to assert their rights quite decisively in response, so good luck with that.

>but university students are very much adults
You havnt been to an american "university", have you?

>And why would that be a problem? I can give access to hundreds of people to my home internet connection if I want. My bandwidth, my responsibility.
Pretty sure that isnt how it works here, especially when it comes throught he cable.
Its a felony to share utilities.

Just set up a ad-hoc connection from inside windows and use that as your wireless devices
