So what's the actual "hack"? A proxy?
- drakaal 13y agoMore like Un-proxying. The devices have a proxy installed that limits where you can go and they just remove the proxy. This is the equivalent of going in to your phone and changing the APN. I don't know which software they are using, but most either intercept the DNS or use a constant Transparent Proxy.
- zachlatta 13y agoI go to one of the schools that implements this program. Most of these schools have software from Bradford Networks (http://www.bradfordnetworks.com/ http://www.bradfordnetworks.com/) that acts as a transparent proxy. In addition to blocking many websites, it blocks all ports besides 80 and 443. To get around it, I connect to an OpenVPN server on port 80 through TCP. Why do I circumvent it? I need access to port 22 to push to GitHub and connect to my VPS. I also need access to port 21 to access various educational FTP servers. Removing restrictions on a school-issued iPad is significantly easier. Removing current profile on the iPad also removes all of the imposed restrictions.
