It’s pretty easy for the library to block the ports needed for standard VPN, although I don’t know why they’d want to. If you go to the advanced setup in PIA, you can change the ports and protocol. I’d first try TCP over port 443. I know early last summer I connected to PIA from the St. Matthews branch library and didn’t have to do anything special. I’m returning some books there in a few days and I’ll see if they’ve recently started blocking ports. One way to see which ports are being blocked is to try the Shields Up <https://www.grc.com/intro.htm> website.
