Beyond the Browser: Using Crosh to Navigate Network Restrictions For users of Chromebooks, the "Crosh" (Chrome OS Developer Shell) is often viewed as a cryptic, text-based tool reserved for IT administrators and developers. However, beneath its unassuming command line lies a suite of powerful networking utilities. While Crosh cannot perform miracles, it offers three legitimate, technical methods to access blocked content that standard browser extensions or VPN apps cannot.

Here is how advanced users utilize Crosh to circumvent web filters. Crosh is a command-line interface built into every Chromebook. You can access it by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T . Unlike a Linux terminal, Crosh runs in a restricted sandbox.

  1. My friend was trying to add herself to my Fitbit.
    Guess what she added all her friends!!!
    Owen to. And blocked EACH one of her friends.
    I don’t want to block her friends I want them off my phone!!!

    • Hi Peggy,

      It sounds like she added herself and friends to your phone’s Contacts app instead of the Fitbit app.

      Once contacts get added to the phone’s contacts app, rather than block them, I suggest you open the Contacts app and delete them. It will be tedious since you need to do this one by one.

      Now, to add friends via the Fitbit app. Open the app and tap the Community tab at the bottom. Then tap the upper tab for Friends and choose Add Friends. Instead of Connect Contacts, at the top choose either email or username (if you know it.) Then enter the email or username of your friend and send them an invite (they must accept the invite to make the connection.)
