    It’s funny, because that’s exactly what I did around the age of 13 to bypass my school’s firewall. I had everything on a USB drive, including Ghostzilla and PuTTY so I could browse through an SSH SOCKS tunnel. Mind you, my home computer was the SSH server – but these days it wouldn’t be hard to get a VPS in a less restrictive country:

    “Hey [parent], can I borrow your credit card to set up a server so my friends and I can play [game] together?”

    It takes one kid in a group to set something like this up.
