I don’t know if this is the right subreddit but my school wifi blocks almost every web game and every streaming service. For some reason I can use vpns on my phone to access these blocked websites, but vpns never work on my school Chromebook while on the school wifi. I can use these websites at home on my Chromebook and most vpns I use seem to work fine.
School IT here, just know we can see everything you do on that chromebook. No need to get yourself in trouble for something you shouldn’t be doing. Just use your phone for that stuff.
If you can without every site being blocked, try finding google docs with proxies. You can do this easily by going on youtube and searching up “school chromebook proxies”. And you can use a url opener to go through links quick.
So a VPN will act as a middle man between your laptop and the internet obscuring where the data is coming on either direction.
So your laptop wouldn’t be able to accurately determine where any incoming internet traffic was coming from. This essentially means you can stream data from Netflix and your laptop doesn’t realise this data is originating from Netflix. (Equally Netflix won’t know where your request for data is coming from, so if your VPN is set up to appear you’re in another country you can access that country’s Netflix catalogue).
However, because the VPN sits between your laptop and your internet connection, this means that when you connect to the school’s WiFi, all internet traffic is coming via that connection. The IT team can simply block traffic from Netflix from ever entering their subdomain so you’re out of luck.
I bet you could connect your laptop to your phone’s hotspot and have some success. However, as the other posters have pointed out, it’s probably best to just do work at school and play games at home to avoid any potential trouble you might get in for trying to skirt around these rules.
If you need a VPN account for other devices - not for the chromebook: I have free slots for Wireguard vpn. Just ask me for the qr scan it in the free Wireguard app and you are ready.
Works good on school wifis.
Corporate IT here. Can confirm we watch everything.
Not blocked on phone?
Nice thing about chromebooks we can disable the user from setting up a vpn if it is managed. Still wouldn’t work. And if using a hotspot, we still can see that data as the account used to login to the device is more than likely a school domain account. We still manage that. On a managed device we can also disable the ability to use an email that isn’t apart of the school domain. Don’t be that kid that ruins it for others, just do what you should and don’t make life harder for anyone else
Bro can u get me one
can i have one please
I require the sauce edit: ik I’m a bit late but still SAUCE
The firewall for one, it detects all network traffic and reports where people are going, and GWorkspace. There are builtin tools to show where people are going as well
well i have something called recovery mode on my school chromebook 
Can you see through the camera on a computer?
Yo brother, I would appreciate if you set me up with one.
could i get one as well
While people can exploit that, a school IT guy wouldn’t/shouldn’t as it is a gross misconduct and a violation of privacy,
Sure, just send me a DM
Do u guys like try to look at everything or is it just like specific requests
