Hey op, heads up
its a standard feature that they have in order to keep students on task, my school has a system where they can view all outgoing and incoming traffic, and if they have an issue with that client, they usually find whos doing it by their name on their ipad and then call them down, since most people in my school are mentally challenged and know nothing about anything.
They have some mac utility from the website on the mac clients and some other greasy client on the normal windows computers iirc, its normally just for security. Just don't do anything bad and you won't get into trouble. I use a vpn at school on my phone, and they've tried blocking it because of it. Every single school I've been to has had a client like this in order to keep students safe and not get them into trouble, its not like its on your wireless network. If it was on your actual computer and another client was doing it to you then that's a different story.
Usually when I do something shady I just log into a random student's account so they don't know it's me. Our school district's security is so flawed I got the usernames, passwords, names, addresses, birthdays, and phone numbers of every kid in our school district.
on the mac clients they don't block terminal so I just run passwd and then set it to what I want, its actually funny that the teachers cannot get into my account because of me changing it, I also think they can see what I output in a terminal window, like if I were to connect to my vps or anything they'll see the commands I output, op just don't do anything stupid and you have nothing to worry about.
I care if the government is acting as a big brother, but I could care less if the school was
Yeah, well theres nothing you can do about it, internet service providers track what you do, and the government isn't going to use your information against you unless you've done something illegal
Usually I'd agree, they should be able to do that, but holy forget, by the features of the program, that's so eerily creepy that it'd affect my work knowing how much they can see just by clicking once or twice. What my last opened program was? What I'm using? What's RUNNING on my computer? Not that it might be bad, but, wow. That's just.. creepy.
Oh please, the mac client that they have in my class, you can lock their computer, remotely control it and even run terminal commands. Its not like a teacher is going to need to use those commands in any sort of way, maybe for just remote viewing but remote control comes in handy for my fat forget teacher.
Our school computers are also like that, and they have a proxy that is really annoying.
They can do it, unless its your personal computer.
you mean they redirect dns connections or...
Oh, lol and my school has a completely broken system for blocking sites, we even had an assembly because some kid was looking at research in class
