      I distinctly remember the firewall at my high school was super easy to circumvent. And I doubt every URL was being checked. I never dared to watch porn at school but I doubt they could have stopped me. Idk if the firewalls have gotten more sophisticated lately though… In my day all we had to do was browse using HTTPS and the whole internet was available to us

        How long ago was this? There were a couple websites we could use to go around school censors when I was in middle school (hidemyass, lmao) but I definitely don’t remember https being a workaround. For reference my experience was between 2005 and 2008.

          Graduated HS in 2015. It actually got less secure one year when they migrated to a shittier firewall, the original firewall didn’t have the HTTPS vulnerability lmao
