Blocked access...

Hello!
I love lichess and have been using it for a few years with my chess team. However, it's recently been blocked by my school district, and it apparently has something to do with the home nation of the servers?
Basically, I'm looking for support to do one of two things, or both:
1) is there a way to access Lichess that doesn't involve direct access? Like... Is there a way to access Lichess going around the direct link that might work to avoid the issue I'm running in to?
2) is there a press kit or something to demonstrate that Lichess is a safe site to access on a school network? Our district is scared because we were hacked this year, and they're very paranoid of that happening again. Anything I could present that would temper their dears would be helpful.
Thank you!
I'd go talk to your IT guy. Could be a simple solution. Just try not to make it seem like you are trying to avoid doing work in class. Worked for me.
