could i have more
Sure there's not much more to it. I think it was a Mac and I was trying to get around the administrative privileges.
On a similar note a different school used Windows but had a pretty good blocklist of sites that had anything to do with gaming or social media. I really wanted to browse some game review but didn't have another way because of how prohibitively expensive mobile data was at the time and ended up using Tor.
I never heard anything about it but it's funny to think I used it to read Metacritic reviews.
