How to unblock Fortnite at school

If your school, college, or even your office is blocking Fortnite—or any other game like RobloxMinecraft, or social network—we have a simple solution to bypass the restrictions and play until your heart’s content. Want Fortnite unblocked? Here’s how to unblock Fortnite at school or on Chromebook in just a few easy steps.

Fortnite: Battle Royale, the viral game loved by millions around the world, has recently started being blocked at schools and colleges. Why? Because people are spending more time playing than they are listening to their teachers. Fortunately, there is a super simple tip to get unblocked games at school for free with Hotspot Shield VPN.

So, how do you get Fortnite unblocked at school? Firstly, you need to download Hotspot Shield’s Virtual Private Network, or VPN. Hotspot Shield VPN routes your web traffic through its secure servers, giving you a new IP address. This ensures that the site you’re trying to visit has no idea who you are or where you’re connecting from. That last part is important.

Go to your app store and search for “Hotspot Shield VPN” (or click the image below).

Follow these 5 simple steps to get Fortnite unblocked:

Step 1: Download the Hotspot Shield VPN app for free on your mobile or desktop device.

Step 2: Open Hotspot Shield VPN and click the “connect” button.

Step 3: Hotspot Shield VPN is now connected and all your web activities are totally anonymous.  

Step 4: Now, open up Fortnite.

Step 5: Voila! Fortnite unblocked!

You’ll find that Fortnite is no longer blocked on your WiFi network or school Chromebook, and any restrictions that were put in place have now been bypassed.

Hotspot Shield’s free VPN is limited on bandwidth. If you find that you’re playing so much Fortnite you need additional bandwidth, you can upgrade to Hotspot Shield Premium (it has a 7-day free trial). This then gives you unlimited bandwidth.

As an added bonus, upgrading to Premium also grants you access to 29 virtual server locations around the world. Why is this cool? Because if you select the server location in the United Kingdom, for instance, you can then access Netflix shows only for people living in that country.

See,it’s not just about playing Fortnite unblocked!

Here’s another example: Say you’re heading abroad on vacation. Switching to your native server when in a foreign country will allow you to stream video content as if you were sat at home with your feet up. There’s now never an excuse to complain about foreign TV shows you don’t understand.

Oh, and you can also potentially save hundreds on flight tickets by using a VPN or snag that dream vacation for cheap. And you can access any NFL game live, so you won’t miss a second of the action.

Are VPNs blocked on Fortnite?

Many VPNs are blocked on Fortnite, so it’s important to select a trusted VPN provider so you can always ensure Fortnite unblocked. Hotspot Shield is trusted by over 650 million people around the world and works great for unblocking Fortnite — and Netflix, YouTube, Snapchat, and practically any other site you want to unblock.

Will a VPN improve my Fortnite gaming experience?

Not only does Hotspot Shield make Fortnite unblocked at school, but it also improves your gaming experience. By connecting to virtual servers located nearer to where the game’s servers are located, you will get less lag time and faster gaming speeds. So try it out yourself and see if your Fortnite gaming improves.

What is Fortnite? 

If you’ve gotten this far in the article and yet you don’t actually know what Fortnite is, let me fill you in. It’s a phenomenon. The game burst onto the scene in 2017. It’s set on Earth, but most of humanity is gone. One of the main things you need to do in Fortnite is collect materials to build protective ‘forts’ to stay safe. Players battle other players in the battle royale mode, and, frankly, it’s addictive. This is why so many people want Fortnite unblocked at school.

How big is Fortnite?

Fortnite is so big now that people actually tune in online to watch gamers play. Even Drake got in on the action. The Battle Royale version of the game is free to play and yet it makes an estimated $300 million per month. How? Via in-game purchases. FYI, watch out for the free V-Buck scam!

What age is Fortnite for?

People of all ages are playing Fortnite, but Epic Games has put a PEGI rating of 12 on the game, meaning it’s not suitable for kids under 12. There are many grown adults playing Fortnite, too, such is the viral nature of the game. That’s why so many people of all different ages want Fortnite unblocked.

Is Fortnite free?

While Fortnite is thought of as a free game, in truth, it’s not entirely free. Fortnite “Battle Royale” is free, however, it’s the in-game V-bucks that people are buying; that’s how Fortnite makes such an extraordinary amount of money each month. If you want to play the full version of Fortnite, you do have to buy that game. It costs around $42 USD per month. When most people talk about Fortnite, they’re referring to the ‘free’ Battle Royale version.

What does Fortnite run on?

Fortnite is now available on pretty much every platform out there, including PC, MacOS, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS mobile, and Android. Note: Fortnite is not available in the Google Play store, so you need to download it directly from Fortnite itself. And, as we’ve talked about, if you need Fortnite unblocked, make sure you download Hotspot Shield VPN.
