Why YSK: Us students know schools go absolutely overboard on website restrictions. Completely locked down with browser management extensions and admin blocks. For gosh-sake sometimes I just wanna scroll Reddit or watch Twitch when there’s nothing else going on. And for those of you who a school Chromebook is the only access you have to internet, you’re going to want to take a break and relax sometimes. Without further delay, here’s how to bypass website blocks on school Chromebooks on which website “security” is managed by extensions
1: Google search the website you want to visit. Don’t click the link yet.
2: In the top right corner you should see three vertical dots. Click that
3: Head over to more tools and click task manager
4: End the processes associated with your Chromebook’s “security” (e.g. cisco umbrella extension)
5: After that, quickly click the website you want to visit. Do this fast as the “security” processes reinstate themselves and you may have to spam ‘end process’ multiple times for the request to go through. Refresh the page and end “security” extensions as needed.
Once the website loads in, you should not have to spam close the “security” extensions, and most of the website features should run as normal. You should also be able to visit those websites in the future without having to complete the process above. The only exception Ive seen where consistent buffering occurs is crunchyroll and the Reddit media player.
Hope this helps some people 
Edit: This solution only works if your school didn’t block task manager. If they did, you gotta resort to a dual boot process off an external drive if your processor supports windows/linux
I don’t exactly know the process, but I’m sure you could find a youtube video that shows you how to do it.
AMD and Intel processors support both Windows 10 and some versions of Linux.
Thank you to u/enderwiggin42 for the info!
Damn I miss being young and using hidemyproxy.co
Thank you. Believe it or not, my school banned Coolmath. COOLMATH IS BLOCKED
Edit: ok so apparently they can disable the ability to end tasks
Or just replace the hard drive
Buy your own chrome book. Don’t use the school’s bullshit.
Schools and counties block any site that mentions proxies now. AFAIK the way I described is the only reliable one as all extensions not specifically okayed by schools are put on a blacklist and are uninstallable, which naturally includes any VPN as well. My chromebook also completely restricts proxy use in settings.
I’m sorry bro, task manager was the only easy solution i found, everything else was blocked for me
What processor do you have? You might be able to run a windows OS dual boot with an external drive
per u/EnderWiggin42, It’s really difficult to find a clean ChromeOS boot to put on an external drive since none are officially available.
As for Linux and Windows 11, the processor on the Chromebook I use is an AMD A4, so neither would be supported
Im a dumbass, yes they could be. But I’m not a crazy techie guy and don’t know if it would be super stable
It’s tracked by serial number
I keep forgetting I was bypassing school admin to go on MySpace in comp lab. Fuck I’m old
It always was hidemyweb.co
I don’t have an external drive and even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to use it. The chromebooks at school won’t let you do any of that kind of stuff
Linux is pretty stable. Your call.
We probably used different Chromebooks ngl
I used to just change http to https and every webpage worked in my old school
The built in music on some profiles was a CURSE if you forgot to mute…
Blocked unfortunately. School Chromebooks don’t give regular users permissions to download anything besides certain extensions specifically listed in a section of the google store. Everything else, like I mentioned in the post, is put on a blacklist and cannot be installed.
In case you’re wondering, CROSH, the ChromeOS version of CMD.exe is also blocked by ADMIN, meaning you cannot access it. period. Including using the process I described in my post.
Another option I haven’t tested (and quite frankly, don’t know if it’s possible) is to make a javascript using the text.app extension (if its available to you) that kills specific extensions on loop. Simple in theory if you know javascript, but I do not. Might be dunning-krueger-ing myself here, though. I haven’t found a good tutorial on how to do it, so it could likely be harder than I think.
I’m going to assume there’s some software on there that the students need making a clean install a little difficult to recommend. But perhaps a duel boot option would be acceptable.
Damn, I don’t know JavaScript either. I do think it would work though because one of my friends did a thing with JavaScript where you can click a certain bookmark and edit text like it’s a google doc
