However, tech-savvy students and indie developers found ways around these restrictions. They began creating games that could be hosted on educational platforms like Google Sites or GitHub Pages. Because these domains were not blocked, students could enjoy gaming between classes&mdash;or sometimes even during class breaks&mdash;without triggering filters.
