Regarding this topic. We need to start at the fact that at the very least, school mandated Chromebooks have specific software in them that carefully tracks every move you do on the internet. However, they are going a step further to monitor every computer's screen no matter what type of computer the student is using so long as they are connected to the school Wi-Fi. I personally find this a violation of my privacy rights because this is a form of spying on my personal property.

So, we need to discuss the specifics of this type of technique and what actions could we do to disable this form of spying on our end? Please ask more questions if needed to add up more to the context.

Don't use the school-mandated devices for anything other than school stuff. Don't use your personal email/social media accounts/etc. on those devices. Make burner accounts or school-specific accounts to use only on the Chromebook. End of the story, IMO.

My phone package gives me 210GB of data for 20€/month. Use yours as access point ?
I cannot recommend that you use programs to bypass the rules of a school wifi. It is in place for reasons. Pornography, shooters etc. If you have nothing to hide everything will be fine.

No school bypass things is something we have cracked down on since day 1, though you havent been around long enough to know that. Its your schools property and there network. Just do your homework.
