This is the equivalent of going in to your phone and changing the APN.

I 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.

The solution: just use fucking _books_.

Yes, they're heavy and a pain to drag around, but do you seriously have a
better idea? They're infinitely versatile and aren't scared of getting tossed
around.

iPads as an educational tool has to be the most ridiculous attempt yet at
"digitalizing" education.

There's a little-known Steve Jobs video
([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q82weiAJmaA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q82weiAJmaA))
where he says that computers and technology are absolutely no substitute for
an environment that promotes curiosity and a thirst to learn.

Also, books don't cause eyestrain, they have insanely fast refresh rates, and
you can flip to any one section quickly and easily without
go and they just remove the proxy. 

 This is the equivalent of going in to your telephone and transfer the APN. 

 I don't know which software they are use, but most either wiretap the DNS 
 or use a constant Transparent Proxy.
