My university uses Sophos firewall to censor the internet. Before Sophos it was  Cyberroam. Normally torrent clients do not work because of these firewalls. But someone suggested Tixati and it worked without any change in configuration. However, within a few months university probably did something and tixati too stopped working.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 and uTorrent client is quite different from the windows version. So I can't do the same settings on it. I would love to use Tixati but I can't translate the same settings to Tixati as I don't know the specifics of the p2p technology.

Can somebody do that? Also if you provide an email to contact developers of tixati, it'd be great. I couldn't find any on the website.
Thanks.

The only config. you can test at Tixati is force cryptography.

There are only two kinds of connections/start sockets in the whole internet:
Incoming: from the internet or LAN, your device will receive an "request to connect".
Outgoing: from your device, your own device will generate an "request to connect" out of the physical/virtual port.

If your University blocks incoming connections, there is NO way to circunvent that OTHER than using Tunneling, SSH Tunnel, masquerade by some way.
The outgoing connections CAN be blocked, that means if the Univ I.T. team is atleast a little good, they know how to block if they want.

The Bittorrent protocol DOESN'T need incoming connection allowance, you can set random port and MUST be able to make outgoing connections, and you will trade data at very slow rate because of technical knowledge.

For the torrent clients at the market, they do not offer any secure tunneling neither any firewall bypass, other than weak cryptographic "random" keys.
Importing data is not necessary, Tixati by itself is pretty optimized, more than uTorrent I can guarantee, and would not make a difference.
