Hey, quick backstory is that I set up parsec on my computer to access during school, I tested it on our school chromebook at home, and it worked perfectly fine. The next morning when I tried to connect at school however, it gave me the 6100 webRTC error, I connected to my hotspot and it worked fine, any ideas on how to fix this?
Might be tha they blocked the access in the school network
This can happen often on public networks (like a school, library, airport etc), they do this primarily as a security measure, which blocks the network protocols that Parsec uses to work
One way around this - use a high performance VPN. If you connect through a VPN they will likely not have blocked the same protocols and Parsec will work. The obvious downside here is you’re introducing another layer of latency so it’s definitely not ideal and is never a preferred way of using Parsec, but in my experience, if the VPN is high performance enough, you can actually get a rather good experience. I personally recommend Mullvad VPN, I’ve had great results using it for exactly this purpose.
Thinking that, but why wouldn’t they block the website entirely?
I’ve used (bigger commitment) the TP-Link Omada built in VPN with their router unit. It works like a champ for this application, and is free (to me with the system already installed).
What are your settings with Mullvad VPN because, my school network, block my vpn, I tried offuscation etc but nothing worked.
A vpn with dedicated server might help to obtain connection, but I’m skeptical.
The protocol of parsec is one thing and the website another, websites rely on port 80 and 443 tcp, unless you try to set your parsec in a specific port I don’t know what else you could do. I’ve experienced this myself being in a really restricted network in a hospital.
my school would block it and unblock it sometimes. Now since Schools is back in session I can connect to my computer for the past 3 weeks
