Expert Answer

All browsers allow you to block and unblock certain websites. For Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, go to your settings which is on the top right. Click on the three horizontal lines or three vertical dots, then click on settings. Navigate to the security and privacy section and find the option to “block contents.” From there, you'll be able to list or un-list websites that you want to block or unblock.

It really depends on the setup your dad has. A solution could be using a VPN or changing your DNS settings.

How do I go on Snapchat?

Denzel Delgado

Community Answer

If you are going to use Snapchat at school, you might want to download a VPN. It will unblock most apps, but it's not guaranteed to unblock everything.

Question

What is a DNS setting?

Layard

Community Answer

DNS stands for domain name server. It is a computer server that converts the human readable web address (eg wikihow.com) into an IP address (eg 151.101.2.137) that computers use. When you type an address into your web browser, your computer first has to send the human readable address to a DNS server asking for it to be converted into an IP address. For this to work, your computer needs to know the IP address of a DNS server so it knows where to send the request.

Question

My school blocked a game called Fallen Sword. It's not even violent, I need to know how to reset a proxy server.

Community Answer

Schools don’t really want you to play games on their devices, even if it isn’t violent because they don’t want you playing games at school. It depends on what device it is. If you have the same device they give you at school, just switch them out, out the school’s case on your device, so you can do what you want.

What sites can I use to unblock sites on a school computer?

Use any good VPNs. Free ones are the best choice unless you'll be using this computer for multiple years.
