I mean we're a general purpose computing platform, if we allow you to build and host a website, of course it's possible to build a proxy. It's essentially impossible to stop that. However, I doubt that's the main driver for the blocking.

Have you tried actually contacting any school boards to ask why you're being blocked?

We are on the phones since the start of the week with no avail. It sounds like there are some shadowy IT providers that are hard to reach that are doing all the blocking and locking down of machines. Someone else on this thread mentioned one such provider.

Fair enough. Honestly,.i do hope you guys can find a solution that allows students to keep using your tools. I would have loved something like that back when i was in school.

I can see why schools may not like it though, apart from just the proxy stuff, i imagine kids use repl.it a lot to do things their teachers would find unproductive.

Just thinking back to the kind of crap i would do on school computers even back in the early 2000's, i can't even imagine what kinds of things kids have come up with these days to fuck around on a computer instead of doing their work.

Like i said though, i think repl.it can be a great tool and resource for students, it seems like it may have to involve more direct effort from you guys in working with schools to make this happen though.
