Looking for best vpn for chromebook that actually works with school device?

Freaking out about privacy on this school-issued chromebook. Got caught in a weird situation where:

β—‡ Device is "managed" by school district 

β—‡ Admin blocks most regular installations 

β—‡ Noticed weird activity logs appearing 

β—‡ Sometimes see camera light flicker randomly??? 

β—‡ Can't afford separate device right now

Stuck using this thing for assignments but also need some privacy for my own stuff (banking, social accounts, etc). Anyone cracked this code or am I just digital cattle for the education surveillance complex? 😭

rookie mistake using school tech for personal stuff. library computers + flash drive = problem solved

Theres literally no solution that works 100% - education chromebooks designed specifically to prevent this. System working as intended sadly

Wrap chromebook in aluminum foil when not using for class. Blocks remote activation signals. Call me paranoid but mine hasn't randomly activated since πŸ”

My brother got detention for installing proxy. Don't risk your academic record for this

Meanwhile our teachers don't even know how to share their screen properly lmaoo. Depends on your school's tech savviness

Chromebook privacy nightmare drove me insane until someone recommended nordvpn service. Decent balance of privacy without triggering security flags. don't do anything stupid tho

security is an illusion 

resistance is futile
