At my school, EVERY device is running a local webserver to block sites. When the device (Chromebook, the win10 laptops) try to access a block website, it redirects to localhost:6543 (or whatever port it was), stating it's blocked.

I find that really inefficient. Why not just run a server on the network, and just redirect there??

Oh yea, out of all the websites, “TikTok” has an “Override” button. It works, but no one knows why TikTok has that button.

bro who uses win10 in 2025
also i found an unblocked site not mine @ tinyurlcom/launch-desmondbot enjoy

People who don't have sse 2 and don't know how to skip it, like schools

im homeschooled, yet my IT is better than most school IT out there by the looks of this topic. (Hint: its my parents, gamers gotta know their way around a computer to game correctly)

Edit: just remembered this is the ATs, so i gotta be more specific. like they both know how to enter the BIOS, use recovery stuff, and probably a lot more i dont know about yet. best thing ive done IT knowledge wise was do a network reset on the family computer when the networking was acting up with only that device.

I think their school added some custom filters to block other sites, but I doubt the school IT is that dumb to do that.

my friend clicked something and it got blocked by ublock

Recently found out it's extremely easy to bypass my school (board?)'s security and install Firefox on the school laptops. All you have to do is deny the UAC prompt in the installer, then rename the Firefox executable to literally anything else. (For whatever reason, the blocker seems to check for string equality, not substrings, which is a classic blunder.)

With Firefox installed, I can finally use browser extensions again! They seem to have been disabled almost a year ago. Why this was done is a mystery to me. I only really use uBlock, and that actually reduces distractions when I'm doing schoolwork. <j> I thought they actually cared about academic performance, but no, they want to shove ads in our faces </j>

I'm unfollowing this topic.

Again, if u have goguardian or classroom.cloud its gonna filter the browser.

Hello, I know this is an advanced topic so please don't get too mad if I don't say much.

At the elementary school that I went to, they used Chromebook for everyone. I want to know if there is a way to download another browser for the ChromeOS on the school computers. If I can get on another browser, then the teacher(s) wouldn't be able to see me on Scratch with Securly or GoGuardian.

Crosh, the chrome developer shell/ terminal in Google Chrome is not blocked and Google very clearly says if you go and see about Crosh that “Crosh should be disabled for students.” And well I don't know how to operate Crosh, I do know that you can do some pretty crazy things on there.

There's a command that can set your Google OS to earlier Versions, meaning the earlier you go the less restrictions you have on that device.

It’s able to run diagnostics and check memory which can definitely aid in dodging School IT. It’s able to do anything compatible with Google and or Linux.

And then you can access AI WITHIN GOOGLE WITH GOOGLES NEW AI MODE UPDATE JUST BY GOING TO google.com AND PRESSING AI NEAR THE SEARCHBAR!!

And I'm surprised that the school IT department does not know about it it can be opened with one simple command on Chromebook and think pads with the Google OS, or any device in that matter with the Google OS:
