Schools blocking stuff is very active still- it's extremely prevalent up to and including high school, and only a handful of colleges do any sort of filtering.

Furthermore, kids find increasingly shady free vpns as IT blocks more and more free vpns.

Lots of kids will use free vpns to get their SAT/ACT/AP scores a day or so early.

I don't understand - how does a VPN help there? Are schools actually blocking the websites that publish the test results?


Some standardized test scores are released on different dates depending on the location of your IP (divided into zones like Eastern, Central, Western US, and International).


wow, thats a good use-case you dont think of often.
