Webscreen & quick Q

[chris11256]

Hi All,

 

Our contract with BT is up for renewal this year and as per procurement processes I need to get three quotes and am considering LGFL. Currently have a 500Mbps line on a 1Gbps bearer.

 

I just have a question on Webscreen. How does it work with BYOD devices? Currently when users connect to our BYOD SSID, Radius(NPS) passes this into our Firewall. So I'd be very keen to replicate this setup with no users having to complete login pages before they have internet access. As far as I understand it domain devices aren't a problem, just use group policy to run a application on login/out.

 

Secondly is there still the requirement to readdress your network, or has this been phased out now?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Best bet is to look over their user manual: https://webscreen.lgfl.org.uk/UserManual/

 

2. To do AD based filtering you have to readdress to their range. Other than that you will be double natting.

 

Please note that per-user filtering is NOT possible in establishments running their own firewall with Network Address Translation enabled or in establishments where all traffic is sent through a local proxy.

Happy to have a chat over the phone if it helps?

 

Readdressing is key, it's a shared platform so if you clash with another school, we can't route you across the WAN, you'd need to NAT to the provided range.

If you don't mind I think that'd be great. I've read the linked manual and can't find anything for User ID besides the AD Link client for domain machines.

I'll drop a contact number in a PM, if we could arrange a time that would be great!
