Can a Proxy Be Banned in School? How Do Schools Block or Detect Them?

Can a proxy be banned in school? Absolutely. Schools often use web filtering software like Lightspeed or Securly to block proxies and other bypass methods. They’re designed to detect and shut down unauthorized traffic, so if your proxy stopped working, it’s probably because the system caught it.

As for monitoring, yeah, they can see a lot of what’s happening on the network. It’s not necessarily creepy—it’s more about keeping things secure and preventing misuse. But I get why it feels invasive.

If you’re looking for alternatives, try using a mobile hotspot or a different network. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than nothing.
