So just recently my school blocked the following for unknown reasons websites
Github
Gitlab
Amazons aws
stack exchange
Bitbucket
Heroku
The hacker news
DuckDuckGo
The Debian package repositories yea all of em
And all domains that end in .io
Now some of you out there are probably just saying "well just use a vpn" the answer to that is I can't the only device I have a locked down school iPad can't install apps cannot delete apps cannot change vpn or proxy setting's I cannot use Safari private tab they have google safe search restricted to "on" they even have "safari restricted mode which lets safari choose what it wants to block" and even when I'm on my home wifi it's s still blocked as they use Cisco security connector THIS IS HELL

Also this is my first post :)

    Time for a good ol fashioned mitm proxy attack.

    - buy an ethernet dongle for ipad and a short cable
    - Get the DNS configuration they're using (may need to packet squirrel it)
    - buy an atomic pi (~$30)
    - install pfsense on the atomic pi
    - connect the wifi on the pi to any wifi
    - set wifi as wan
    - configure pfsense to connect to vpn
    - set all connections to bridge through the vpn in pfsense
    - set a pfsense iprange passthrough to split tunnel to the school net for school resources (if needed)
    - disable wifi on the ipad
    - connect the ipad to your atomic pi middleman
    - enjoy your freerange internets

    @Ranchonyx is only 22 blocked because you can set up ssh on any port personally I would set it up on port 443 or you could get setup a web based ssh client such as shelling ox that is accessible over the internet or do what I do use online IDE such as repl.it and open a bash project and just run. an ssh client on that

    School, the facility that is supposed to provide knowledge, is blocking access to knowledge. Nice 👌

    I learned more from YouTube then I did from school. School was mostly a waste of time and all they do is try to control you. It’s fucking sad.

    Try harder. Man-in-the-middle or, if you're a risk-taker, jailbreak the iPad.

    Update on the ssh situation.
    Did an NMAP.
    All ports up until 65000 are blocked.

    That’s weird because my school blocked github, gitlab and bitbucket but they did not block stack overflow and stack exchange.

    My college blocked a bunch of sites including github. After about a month of complaining, they had github blocked for every one except me.

    I don't understand why the hell some schools block these important websites. Because even if someone copies code or fork they can still able to learn from those..

    But worse though, my former school blocked bootstrap’s docs page.

    WHY THE FUCKING HELL WOULD THEY DO THAT

    @jvillavi yea basically oh and apple cause are school was like,(these are exact words btw)

    "Students can be more creative with iPads"

    So I guess high school students don't need multitasking or a really keyboard to type with.

    Idk why schools just love proprietary garbage

    Hey there! I totally get the frustration with school internet restrictions. They can be a real pain, especially when you're trying to study or do research. I feel you. And English assignments? They can be just as tricky as dealing with those blocked websites!

    To boost my English grades and conquer those assignment challenges, I've been using EduBirdie's https://essays.edubirdie.com/englis... service, and it's been a game-changer for me.

    As for your situation, it's tough, especially if you can't use a VPN. Have you tried talking to your school or teachers about these restrictions? Maybe they can help. And for the rest of you, what kind of study problems do you run into, and how do you deal with them? Let's swap some stories!

    These schools’ CIPA/FERPA Acts are crazy! They block even the slightest thing(for me, it’s YouTube, can’t they filter it?). WTF is going on with the law and the school district board, and the superintendent/lead IT?(They are kinda dumb, if you ask me.)

    @butwhytho Question: does you school have Chromebooks? It can be hacked easier.
