One to block - win7simu.visnalize.com/

Some of our students have been found using a site that provides a version of Windows 7 and are using this to bypass the school filters to play games

Worth checking if it gets through at your school. We have now blocked it.

Nice!.

It's not a VM, it's a really basic emulation of it - it's not even Windows. Internet on it is "browsable" but unusable.

Seems to be an android copy of windows , it can run chrome so its being blocked here !

I thought they were bypassing the filters as the teacher reporting said they were playing games but turns out that in the start menu under games there is a list of "online games" that seem to work, including Among us.

None of the games work here - protected using Smoothwall.

I reported it to smoothwall earlier as it was getting through our smoothwall so hopefully they blocked it before you tried it.
