Internet monitoring/blocking on students home broadband

[MunkySpanner]

We have a few students who take home laptops provided by the school. I've been asked by the safeguarding team if there is any software available that will monitor or block dodgy stuff while they are connected to their home connection. Whilst in school they are protected by our in house and ISP systems (Impero, Watchguard Firewall, Netsweeper) plus some IP and DNS redirects for Facebook, Twitter etc (a bit belt and braces but i like it that way)

 

I think the safeguarding team are thinking of something like NetNanny. I can't see if it would work with a domain setup or different users logging on as it seems geared towards home/specific user setups. Remote filtering systems like Smoothwall would be great but i can't justify it for half a dozen kids. Any suggestions gratefully received.

You need a direct access server so they essential connect to the internet via your internet and all it's associated filtering... Works natively on 8, 8.1 and 10. Requires a PKI infrastrustructure for 7.

Sophos antivirus has a webfiltering option built in. You can enhance this further if you have a sophos utm as you can sync your blocklist down to the clients av install for offsite filtering matching your onsite filtering

Impero will still block school owned devices at home.

 

Any violations will be sent to the console when the machines come back to school
