He remembered hearing about CroxyProxy from a friend who had used it to unblock websites at school. CroxyProxy was a free online proxy service that allowed users to access blocked websites by routing their internet traffic through a different server.
Mrs. Johnson wasn't fooled. She had seen the look of mischief on Alex's face, and she knew that something was up. She decided to let it slide, but warned them that she would be keeping an eye on them.

Alex quickly minimized the YouTube video and pretended to work on a document. "Just doing some research, Mrs. Johnson," he said innocently.
