School Chromebooks often come with strict internet filters that block gaming sites, social media, and other useful websites. If you’re looking to unblock websites on your school Chromebook, play Roblox at school, or bypass school filters, this 2025 guide covers the most effective methods that actually work.
Why Schools Block Websites on Chromebooks
Schools restrict access to:
- Social media (Instagram, Snapchat)
- Gaming sites (Roblox, Chess.com)
- Video streaming (YouTube, Netflix)
- Communication tools (Discord)
But sometimes even educational sites get blocked accidentally. Here’s how to regain access.
Method 1: Use a Proxy Website (Easiest Way)
Proxy sites act as middlemen to access blocked content
Step-by-Step:
- Open Chrome on your school Chromebook
- Visit a proxy site like:
- Enter the blocked URL (e.g., roblox.com)
- Click “Go” or “Surf” to access the site
✅ Works for: Roblox, YouTube, Discord
⚠ Warning: Some schools block proxy sites
Method 2: Install a VPN (Most Reliable)
VPNs encrypt your connection to bypass all restrictions
How to Setup:
- Go to Chrome Web Store
- Search for a free VPN extension:
- Windscribe (10GB free)
- ProtonVPN (unlimited data)
- TunnelBear (user-friendly)
- Browsec Extension
- Install and connect to a server
- Refresh browser – now all sites are unblocked!
💡 Pro Tip: If Chrome Web Store is blocked, use your phone to download the VPN’s APK file and sideload it (for Android-enabled Chromebooks).
Method 3: Google Translate Trick (No Installation)
Clever way to access blocked sites without tool
- Go to Google Translate
- Paste the blocked URL (e.g., chess.com)
- Click the translated link – often loads the site!
Method 4: Change DNS Settings
Alternative method when proxies don’t work
- Click your WiFi icon → Network Settings
- Select your network → Network
- Change “Automatic” to Google DNS:
- Copy
- Download
Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
- Alternate DNS: 8.8.4.4
- Reconnect – may unblock some sites
