Hi. A few days ago, I got an email from my school saying that I tried to access a website that got flagged. I was unaware that it was problematic, so I just decided to stay away from it then on. I remembered trying to go on it without VPN and it was just blocked, so I gave up. Plus, I’ve used it with VPN in the past. But now I got a warning for that one time without it?? That was confusing to me.

I now feel a bit like I’m walking on eggshells bc I had no idea that it would get flagged, and I don’t wanna get in trouble. I wanna be more careful be always having a VPN on when searching any website that could trigger the filter. Would they still be able to flag any websites if I use my personal account and (free) VPN? (I use a Macbook btw)
