Credit where credit is due, after years of asking Link2ICT are finally rolling a transparent internet access service for all schools. If you've not seen the eBrefing I've copied it below:

 

Responding to popular demand, Link2ICT has recently made some fundamental network changes to the core of the BGfL in order to introduce a transparent internet access service. This will provide secure, filtered internet access on any device without the configuration of an ‘explicit’ proxy (eduproxy.bgfl.org).

Having completed the final stages of testing with a group of pilot schools, Link2ICT will now be making the service available to all schools on a scheduled rollout plan. The service will see a consistent web filtering policy applied to both ‘transparent’ and ‘explicit’ clients and our recommendation will remain to continue to use the explicit proxy service for any fixed, school-owned Windows & Mac devices. However, for non-school owned and/or mobile devices, it will provide a secure, filtered internet service without manual intervention.

NOTE: HTTPS Inspection (aka SSL Scanning) functionality available to all schools using the Link2ICT web filtering service requires the use of an explicit proxy. More detail on enabling HTTPS inspection can be found in Knowledge Base Article KB0012920.

Transparent internet access will be made available on a phased rollout schedule to all schools subscribing to our Internet Service at no additional cost. The schedule is based on your school’s IP address range, as detailed below: untitled.pdf
