I introduced makecode arcade to my friends who taught others in my school. But over time i’ve noticed that it has been able to bypass blockers. GoGuardian is very well known and kinda hard to bypass. But simply by restarting the website over and over, it tricks it unto unblocking it. I’m curious if any of you guys have some theories. It also completely flies under Cisco, a stupidly hard blocker to byass. And likewise, which is the new GoGuardian. My theory is that Microsoft make code arcade might be connected to Microsoft cloud servers. Blockers can’t legally enter the cloud servers, so the game can’t be blocked. Scratch games don’t connect to the cloud, only games that use cloud features seem to be safe. What are you guy’s theories?
Hm, curious why it’d get through by refreshing on GoGuardian; potentially the first hit causes their servers to scan / reputation check the site, and further refreshes it has been ‘approved’? Not certain off the top of my head.
We don’t really do anything special in this sense, beyond complying with relevant laws / privacy / safety standards, and making sure as many schools as possible are able to allow us within their policies as possible.
