i find it fascinating how limiting network access for kids does not result in them abiding by your rules but rather leads them to find ways around it

my parents always restricted my internet on a MAC address whitelist mechanism so i learned how to use wireshark and ip tools

my high school had a firewall set up to prevent us from accessing game websites and tools that could potentially help us cheat, so i learned how to bypass their sophos and fortinet firewalls by setting up an nginx conf for google.com on my server, doing host header spoofing and tunelling my traffic over wireguard which was also tunneled over chisel, a http tunnel

maybe i would've followed their rules if they had a reasonable explanation as to why it was for my own good instead of screaming at me and forcing their bullshit views onto me
