  • At the risk of sounding contrarian/lame, you should probably not be doing any of this especially if you don’t own the hardware you’re using (as mentioned by another commenter).

    You don’t specify if this is university or middle/high school, but either way you are not entitled to and should not expect any privacy on a network you don’t control. Regardless of if you use a VPN, your school’s network administrators can almost certainly tell that you are using a VPN, which itself sounds like it would be a violation of your school’s network policy and will most likely land you in trouble. Indeed, your repeated attempts to access blocked sites have likely already raised some flags.

    I would quit while you’re ahead until you can afford your own hardware/internet connection, and then maybe worry about any notion of privacy. Use your school’s internet for what it was intended.
