   On the topic of bypassing school restrictions.

   Every day, for his last 2 years of high school my sibling remoted into the KasmVNC server he has at home.

   This was during a time when sysadmins were keen against any new circumventions. New methods usually gets blocked within the week. To keep it hidden, he had it behind a <something_academic_sounding>.org domain.

   What did he do with absolute freedom? Mostly browse HN and Twitter.

   If anyone at Kasm happens upon this, thanks for improving lives :)

      I can't remember exactly what I did but I think passwords for windows 2000 were stored in something called a SAM file. I managed to get a copy of it and brute force it on my home machine. Password was the schools phone number. Got access to the whole network, network drives, teachers files. I was paranoid so I didn't poke around too much :)
