Hello all,

I am working on getting the [arcade.makecode.com](http://arcade.makecode.com) simulator unblocked in my school district. Did anyone successfully do this? My tech team asked me to share the following issue.

We need to know what site the simulator is redirecting to and if all of the simulators redirect to the same site.

What do they use to block certain websites? My school district uses Securly and all I had to do was create a support ticket thing for the admins to review and it got unblocked. Is it just shared projects that are blocked or the whole site?

Right now everything is unblocked minus the arcade game simulator. So kids can not see their games

I am not sure what filter they are using. I can tell you it is not securly as in my old district we used that without issue.
