Legality: Playing a browser-based game on a network you are authorized to use is generally not illegal. There is no federal law against loading Openfront on a school computer. However, bypassing security measures may violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in extreme cases, though no prosecutor would ever charge a student for playing a war simulator.
