How do I block a school firewall on my chromebook?

So, I have my own personal chromebook, and I have my school wifi, which blocks discord and other stuff and all that. Is there anyway I can bypass that so I can use blocked sites at school?

Depends on how the school blocks it. In 90% of the cases a VPN would work.

Basically you can’t. The firewall is on the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to and has nothing to do with your Chromebook. That’s where the blocks happen. A VPN may be able to get you around it, so long as the school network doesn’t also block VPN ports.

I’ve tried them but they never seem to turn on. Any recommendations for a free one? I don’t have money to spend on one.

try protonvpn.com

they are well known in the privacy/security industry and are much more trustworthy than any other free vpn

I use windscribe currently. They have a browser extension and grant you free choice of a few VPN locations and 10GB volume every month per Email that you register
