Depending on the type of flies, an open container with apple cider vinegar (not white vinegar) and a drop or so of dish soap will lure flies in and they will drown. It helps with smaller flies.

As for the Internet, that's tough, no idea.

You might have to just jack it to lingerie catalogues like I did at your age.

So, you can work around these things but you're going to run into problems if you do:

-If you reset the router, you need to restore the original password else they'll know

-if they notice you using these devices when you wouldn't have access, they'll remove them further from your reach. Possibly permanently.

-If detected, a larger conflict is likely to be escalated. This includes a loss of the benefit of the doubt in the future.

I'd suggest that this is not the battle to fight. They're likely fighting your apparent obsession with tech. Let them have this battle and continue your fun later.

Try the Stormlight Archive, wheel of time, or mistborn books. Maybe the redwall books if you're younger. Fun and focus can still be had without a computer!

there's two possibilities for this wifi blocking:

1. it's setup to only allow whitelisted devices, in this case you're fucked, only option is to pretend to be some whitelisted device
2. it's a blacklist, in this case changing your mac address will make you appear to be a new device, anyone monitoring the device list could see the unknown device appear

Even if you did, what would you do when your parents saw you using the internet after they've cut you out? There's no special orogram for that.

Clean the room that your computer is now in, and use the computer in that room. You don't need the computer to be in your bedroom.

That is a weird whinge. Good on your parents for putting their foot down. If you show them some responsibility they will show you some trust.

What on earth is a used bedroom? Do you not know how to clean your room?

Why are they stopping you move your PC upstairs? This doesn't make much sense. They allow you to use it downstairs?

What is a "used" bedroom? As for flies, buy a pack of fly strips for a couple bucks. That should handle your introductory list of "oppression".

All you are going to do is prove that your parents are right to not trust you. Consider why they don't want you to have it in your room? What happened that they won't allow it? Or maybe you need to prove you can be trusted with it first?

If this was one of my children acting in open defiance like this, the next step would be locking the PC in a closet for a month, and then trying again with it downstairs. To allow them to earn trust back.

This is not the way.

It sorta depends on exactly how the blocking works but it’s most likely by MAC address. You can spoof this address through windows I believe, which will make the network view you as a different system.

This article provided a few ways to do this: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/change-mac-address-windows/

That would be your path of least resistance to dodge network blocking, assuming it’s being filtered via MAC address

This is what we in the business call a "skill issue."

There are ways around it, yes. But none of them are plug-and-play unless you're lucky, and a reliable solution will require a combination of technical ability, stealth and social engineering.

Just read a book my man.

What I would personally do is buy a device that can connected to wifi and hotspot at the same time. This can be a raspberry pi or a wifi router range extender.

I would set the name and MAC address to match a device that is constantly connected, a smart TV or Alexa maybe.

Then I would use this device connect to the internet.

Everything works as usual and for those who monitor the network via Router settings, nothing looks different.

Have fun pulling risky moves and maybe also learn something out of it.

Wait, what's a "used" bedroom? Why do you have a fly infestation in your room? Do you often leave food there or something? Sounds like it needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

Check if the password and user name is the default for the model. Google the model or see if there is a sticker on it.

There is usually a factory reset button. Again Google how to do that for your model. Then you can log in with the default password. It will also reset every other setting too so if you lack the knowledge to reconfigure everything else they will notice.

If either of your parents is better than you at IT I advise against trying. They will notice.

Bummer?

Get a shitty laptop or tablet and access this pic remotely.

For games use Steam’s streaming app.

How are you posting this? Just tether your phone and use that instead

Spoof your MAC address, but it will appear as a new device on the wi-fi which could arouse suspicion. Ideally you could spoof a familiar device that's not currently or often in use (i.e., parents' or siblings' old phone or laptop), but of course you would need to acquire the MAC and it wouldn't work while the actual device is connected.

I don't know how old you are or how much money you have to spend on this.

I don't know shit about tech. If I had to find a workaround, I'd buy my own portable modem and keep it secret.

Caveats of this method: you may need to be of a certain age to purchase one. (Perhaps second hand....? You will still need a card for it though). Second issue with this is, how much data are you going to use? This may not work if you are planning on gaming. But if you just need to browse the web discreetly, it will be good enough.
