Umm... Apple Ports all being opened

Allow rules for Apple, O365 and Googe Apps

 

Maintenance Details

In recognition of demand for access to Apple, O365 and Google Apps we have taken the steps to open ports for these services for all customers. As a result you will no longer need to raise a change request to allow firewall access to these services

 

To avoid any confusion we have removed the online change request forms for these services.

 

That's all great on the o365 etc, but does that now mean we have to specifically ask for Apple to be blocked? Don't really fancy 9million Apps/iOS/iCloud updates etc

This is a joke. They should be asking if schools/sites want to opt into this change. What's the point in the SWGfL firewall if they are just going to punch holes in it without consulting the site first.

 

Sorry but another reason to drop RM and the SWGfL at the next renewal.
