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
@alina well said! :blobhaj_heart:
I think this can be applied to so many different areas and very much resonates with me as when ever somebody tells me explicity that I can't do something and they don't give me a good reason, there is a good chance I will deadset myself to work around their system or just violate it.
I am not going to give any examples though :blobhaj_mlem:
