Seek help from your school IT SUPPORT, as this shows that your school FIREWALL is blocking the site locally. You can test if your school is blocking your course by trying to access via:
- your home internet connection, or
- your phone using mobile data, not the school Wi-Fi
If it works outside the school network, the next step would be to ask your school IT team to allow access to Cademy, especially:
- cademy.io
- api.cademy.io
- *.cademy.io
