As a parent myself I often have to pause my kids internet because modern games and social media are addictive. I tell my kids it’s time to get off (because bed time, family activity, meals, etc etc) and they’re stuck in that “just one more” mind set. They can’t see that they’re addicted and we need some way to break the connection. We give them 30 minute warnings and remind them all the way down to zero and they still won’t shut down. If the parents are enforcing public usage it’s likely because the kid has been caught behaving inappropriately in private.
To the OP, maybe instead of trying to get around your parents rules, listen to them and understand why. Show some responsibility and they might start to trust you.
Add in the modern problem of having the kids use up all our bandwidth downloading games
My wife and I WFH and could run simultaneous web calls no problem. As soon as a kid started downloading a new game or update, our meetings lagged
We have fibre now so it isn't an issue, but these are things my parents never had to deal with
This issue is known as bufferbloat
