Highschool had filters to prevent students from visiting certain (most) sites, but for some reason a browser created using Visual Basic Studio's browser template worked just fine. At least I think that's what it was called. It's been a minute.

I remember when our school had a filter. Turns out if you just looked up the websites IP and put the IP in the URL bar instead of the web address, it would load the site perfectly fine lmao.

I used to run a proxy server at home and config IE to use that.
