How viable is torrenting on a public connection? - eviltoast

My options for internet connectivity are very limited. I was wondering if I could go to a library or coffee shop or wherever has a good connection and do all my downloading remotely, or if I will run into problems/restrictions.

I’m thinking they may not allow VPN’s or something like that?

    Actually you can block vpns using port 443 and 80. Using a methode callesd deep packet inspection. Not something you find in a typical coffie shop. But it being practically unblockable is false. My school used to do this. So i used shadowsocks or tor with snowflake.
