Back in the day, my high school used OpenDNS to block all kinds of sites. Of course, setting 8.8.8.8 on your laptop got around that trivially. They also had separate WiFi networks for teachers and students, and because they didn’t pay for a fast enough connection, the student WiFi was always unusably slow whereas the teacher WiFi was less used and quite fast. They also didn’t use Radius or anything, just WPA personal, so the teachers all shared the same WiFi password. Since the student WiFi was unusable and the seniors needed to be able to work on their college applications, they were given the teacher WiFi password, and then they would share it with some of us in the lower grades and it would spread from there until the admin changed the password again. There were also Ethernet jacks in the walls of each classroom by the teacher’s desk. I had a free period in a classroom where the teacher didn’t use the Ethernet, so I would plug in my laptop and torrent at high speed. High school sucked, but moments like that were satisfying.
