Hi there! I see you’re having trouble with Psiphon not bypassing the website blocker at school, even though it's connecting. Let's work through this together!

1. Network Restrictions: Some schools implement strict network restrictions that might block not just specific websites but also the tools that help bypass them, including VPNs like Psiphon. What type of network they are using can have a significant impact—often they employ advanced solutions to filter traffic.

2. Psiphon Configuration: It’s also useful to check the settings within Psiphon. Sometimes, adjusting the connection protocol can help. Can you verify if you are using the default settings, or have you made any custom configurations?

3. Testing Connection Types: If your school allows HTTP traffic but blocks HTTPS, you might want to try using the HTTP mode in Psiphon, as it could let you through the filters. You can do this by:
- Opening Psiphon
- Going to the settings
- Selecting the appropriate connection mode
- Connecting again and testing out a blocked site.

4. Try an Alternative Browser: If you haven't yet, try accessing the internet with a different browser. Some schools may have filters targeting specific browsers. Have you tried using Edge or Chrome alongside the WebKit-based browser?

5. Consult the Help Articles: If adjustments in Psiphon don’t work, you may want to refer to articles or forums discussing bypassing specific school filters. A good resource includes discussions like this one on Quora.

If none of these steps work, we may need to look into whether there are higher-level restrictions in place at your school. Feel free to share any specific settings you’ve tried already or any additional details about the error messages you see when attempting to access blocked sites!

Are you satisfied with the solution I provided? If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
