and not stopping you from obtaining it?

how to unblock websites at school.

Now let's get into it.

I've heard from the comments
that schools these days are relentless
and straight up merciless in their restrictions.
While some content really has no place in schools,
but needing to unblock YouTube even for useful tutorials,
that's too much.
Usually to watch YouTube at school and other content,
you'd use a VPN or proxy,
but I hear you saying those are often blocked as well.
But it can still be possible to use a VPN for you.
I'm going to show you
how to unblock websites at school tutorial format.
I'll be assuming that you want to unblock websites
on a school issued device,
which most likely will be in a Windows laptop.
In case you need to know
how to unblock websites at school on Chromebook,
there's a good dedicated tutorial for that from NordVPN.
I'll leave a link in the description.
So you can try downloading a VPN app through a direct link,
like this link for NordVPN for example.
If you manage to install the app this way,
it's smooth sailing from there on.
But some of you told me
that even apps can be blocked on school computers,
then you can try using a browser extension.
Since they use different internet ports
which can be left unblocked.
The best VPN unblock websites even with a browser extension,
and most reputable providers
have extensions for standards browsers.
Just search for the extension
in your browser extension menu,
you can get any of them fairly easily.
Now, it's also entirely possible
that VPN websites are not blocked in your school,
but gaming or streaming websites are.
In that case,
you can also use a VPN to access the contents
that's blocked for you.
If you need a reliable VPN,
I recommend using one of those three,
NordVPN, Surfshark, or Atlas VPN.
Not only do I have exclusive discounts
you can use with them,
but they also can access a variety of content
and bypass heavy restrictions.
Unfortunately for you,
chances are your school has already turned on
the oppressive government
and VPNs are no longer an option.
How do you unblock websites at schools in that case?
Well, you can always try to use a Wayback Machine.
It's a website allowing you to view
the digital archive of the entire internet.
So even if it doesn't want you to unblock websites
schools shouldn't be able to stop you
from looking at its older version.
Of course, as long as you need to log in
or actually manipulate any data,
Wayback Machine won't be of any help,
since it only shows you an archive
of how the website used to be.
However, if you need to access
a video, an article, or a forum,
not being able to alter things won't be an issue.
There's one more solution
for how to unblock websites in a school
and it's a bit of a walk around.
It's called URL shortener,
and the idea behind it is that
you can shorten a link to appear differently
so that initial school blocks will ignore it.
Since shortened links looks nothing like the link
banned by the school.
This method can be your answer
to how to unblock websites at school.
Assuming your school operates
with a blacklist of forbidden websites of course,
one of the most used URL shorteners is Bitly.
And using it is simple,
just access the website and paste the link
you need to access into the shortener.
Honestly to me,
just the fact that you need to jump
through many hoops to figure out
how to unblock sites is very annoying.
Hopefully one of those methods will help you,
so let me know how it went.
Thanks for watching this video,
leave any questions if you have them,
and I wish you luck in regarding your internet freedom.
