Can a Proxy Be Banned in School? How Do Schools Block Access to Proxy Sites?

It’s a tough situation. Can a proxy be banned in school? Absolutely. Schools use all kinds of tools to block proxies, and they’re pretty good at it.

I’ve tried a few like HideMyAss and Hotspot Shield, but they got blocked pretty quick. If you’re really desperate, you could try using a portable browser with built-in proxy settings, but no guarantees it’ll work.
