Does anyone know any methods on how to bypass school Chromebook restrictions?
I have a few people wanting to know if there is any way of doing this, and personally I'm very interested in this. I have attempted to reset and then power wash their systems but once completed, still greets them with a restriction screen.
Does anyone know a method or system that can bypass this factor?
Oh, you can find some previous threads on the topic, but I'll sum them up for you. Don't. You'd be permanently modifying school property and violating school IT policies.

I'm alright with bending the rules with IT policies, being that I could be fully anon while doing so. It's also sort of a grey area being the students are paying to use the school provided computers.
They don't do checks to ensure the Chromebooks are still in restrictions of the school. Also, it could boost state test results being a win - win.
But I will do a search through previous threads, although they may be outdated. Thanks.

How the Chromebook system for schools works is it runs an audit daily. So modified folders, directory changes, firewall change, IP redirects are flagged to the IT department.
They all have a Remote Desktop Software inside of them to monitor what is happening and reinstate stuff.
Also the entire system is a keylogger so if their system goes offline they have the key strokes, setting/directory path to say "you fucked with our computer". This also goes for search history. If you look up anything that can flag their system then they call the police to do a check at your house and ask about your search history of you looking up beheading videos or asking how to kill yourself or looking up porn or looking up committing fraud, or being on hack forums asking how to bypass your school firewall and restrictions. This also goes with schools being mandated reporters of your search history and what you are doing if it harms yourself or others or committing crimes.
Moral of the story is don't. Your school gave you a large wiretap. Use it for school and nothing else, it's not a free computer and doesn't belong to you.

I use my own computer, and a VPN.
I know of people who look up porn, and worse shit on their Chromebook. No one says anything to them, nor do they have "cops at their house".
I don't think I will be able to go through with it being that finding a way to do it would be way too hard. Thanks for the help though.

Unless it's a new model. You could try opening up the device and there might be a write-protect screw. that's really your only option. I did this myself on an old one
Edit: which enables you to flash your own firmware
I would just recommend not modifying it. It's not worth potentially getting in trouble with your school.

The schools may not do periodic checks to ensure that devices "phone home," but there is no doubt in my mind that they are checked when students have to turn them in. Also, it's not a gray area when students or their parents sign a computer use agreement of some sort.

Remember that this guy is trying to provide a service to students, not do it for himself.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MEMBER
I never found anything that could bypass the hardware restrictions. It is usually monitored.
