There are numerous reasons why Chromebooks are generally preferred over Macs and Windows in schools, but hey, let’s talk about the most common ones. First off, they’re cheap when compared to the other two options. Secondly, there’s room for portability and cloud storage. But to top it all off, you can sneak in a Roblox game during lunch break or maybe even class!
Now that most school administrations are aware of Roblox’s increasing popularity, it has been blocked by their networks. However, did you know there are several ways to pull a fast one on your school’s administration and bypass the Roblox restriction on your school-issued Chromebook?
Why Is Roblox Banned In School?
Understandably, Roblox is banned in Schools since it’s seen as a COD-esque first-person shooter or an MMO game that brings no productivity. However, schools never think beyond Roblox’s entertainment purpose, as it is also an excellent platform to learn skills like Coding. Moreover, Roblox also promotes creativity as students can use their imaginations to create games through the codes they learn.
How To Unblock Roblox On A School Chromebook
While you can easily play Roblox through its website or download it from the Chrome web store on your Chromebook, your school network won’t allow it; they’ve banned it. That said, there are several ways around it, and we’ve explained them in detail below:
1. Use A VPN
Since school networks block almost everything that is not for educational purposes, a simple tap of quick connect on a VPN will do the trick to bypass the restriction. With a VPN, not only will you unblock the chrome web store or the Roblox official site, but your online presence will also stay hidden, thus offering more security when using your Chromebook.
That said, make sure to use a legitimate VPN, like NordVPN, Express VPN or Windscribe. Once connected with the VPN, you’ll easily access Roblox’s website or download it from the Chrome web store without any restriction. However, make sure you have Google Play Store turned on for your Chrome web store.
2. Roblox On Browser
While you can play Roblox on your Chromebook browser through its official site, it’s unfortunately blocked on most school networks. However, several websites host Roblox. One of them is now.gg, a free mobile cloud gaming site making rounds among students with a Chromebook.
However, like always, as the site garners more popularity, it’ll likely get blocked by your school network in the near future. In such a scenario, you’ll have to wait for another legitimate website that would host Roblox to rise up.
Final Thoughts
All in all, these are the only 2 legitimate methods to play Roblox on a school Chromebook. You could also use proxy sites, where you’d input the Roblox URL to play the game, but those are now mostly blocked. That said, using a VPN is your best bet, as there’s no knowing when the Now site might get blocked by your school network.
