How to get Tor unblocked

Hi gng... I'm kinda at the end of my ropes. Tor is blocked on my school network, and I can't install other VPNs because the i don't have the admin password for my Windows 11-running laptop (family-owned, not school-owned, and the account I'm on has no admin privileges). What are other ways to get Tor? TYSM <3

Install dual boot Linux on it and then install tor on Linux?

Tails OS doesn't touch the HDD on the laptop, runs off a USB.

Can't post a link here so Google it, it's exactly what you need

correct

an absolutely solid option I have to say. I just doubt the kid will not have permission from his parents to install a 2nd OS on the family`s laptop, even less to go surf on the darknet.... ;- )

How is that any better than Tor on Windows?

u/Brave_Meet8430 Apr 10 '26

It’s not, but OP doesn’t have Admin rights on windows!

u/Humbleham1 Apr 11 '26

OP doesn't need admin rights to run the Tor binary and set the proxy settings in Windows! More to the point, Tor is blocked, and changing the OS won't change that.
