Logging into game server (Port issue) quick-fix please?

Hi there, I was able to play a bit of Nostalrius at home for the weekend, but once moving back into University halls I am unable to play again. I am almost positive it is a port issue because the University likes to block certain unknown ports for security reasons.
I am able to login to the "Logging into game server" message at the character creation screen, though this is the furthest it will allow me.
I am aware of certain VPN's to bypass proxies, and have tried a few so far, though these have their downsides like slow internet speeds and limited access / trials etc.
Just wondering if anyone has shared the same problem and has a stronger fix for a problem like this, as I really want to play on the server problem free
Thanks for reading this and feel free to post with any questions or fixes you may have.
Cheers.
