simple solution to school blocks

step 1. learn linux
step 2. buy a raspberry pi 3, 4 (reccomended for price if new to linux and you don’t already own one, as many are on clearence to make room for pi 5) , or 5 with at least 4 GB RAM (cost ~$100) (you may be able to manage with 2/1 GB RAM options, i just put down 4 gb cuz thats the model i have)
step 3. check if the website https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/connect/ is not blocked
step 4. setup
(next few steps optional)
step 5. install tor, proxy server, vpn
step 6. buy a cooling fan/case and maybe try overclocking

PROS
cool
use outside of unbl0cking
learn linux
practical, portable, low-cost computer

CONS
can only use raspbian/raspberry pi os
costs +$100 (sometimes more than $150 if you buy a pi 5 with 8 GB)
EDIT: I was unaware that the Pi 5 16 GB RAM version was launched, this one costs well over $200 with the starter kit (recommended because it comes with cooling supplies) which you may want to buy if you want to have more than 1 chrome tab or host an ai locally through ollama

OTHER IDEAS FOR ADDED SECURITY

  1. Set up a proxy (proxylists.org)
  2. Use TOR (ONLY USE CLEARNET SITES)
  3. Set up a VPN (OpenVPN comes pre-installed on most Linux distros; otherwise extremely easy to install)
  4. Switch the default search engine on Firefox (you don’t necessarily need to get another browser, Google pays Firefox to make them the default browser, just switch to DuckDuckGo)
Unb!0ckers and More (A lot of games too)

this works its actually insane how well it does too (for remote access with a 4 GB memory SBC) I will definitely be using this when I get a Pi 5 with 16 GB memory

also this is only really good for web browsing, not enough ram, maybe good enough for slower games if you got the 8 gb version
