VPN use encryption, it doesn't care firewall block ...

Layer 7 firewalls aka Next Gen Firewalls (NGFW) can have signatures that can recognize VPN traffic and drop it. Each VPN service works slightly differently though, and not all NGFW will be able to block all VPN apps. Need to trial and error what works.

I do that all the time, not to bypass, but to report to the principal so that they can create signatures for it so that staff can't use it anymore. whistling.gif

of course because my office didnt want us to use wechat... hope if I can bypass by putting in the proxy setting as below.

That is not what that proxy setting is for. Some network environments have a corporate proxy controlling ALL internet traffic. Anything not going through the proxy will be blocked. For these environments, you will need to enter the corporate proxy settings for WeChat to work. So it is not related to bypassing anything.
