[21h2] CyberStart VM and Proxy in Windows 10

[Dean123sm]

Hi,I want to install the CyberStart VM into one of our ICT suites but have ran into an issue.Our proxy is client based and so when the VM is booted into the preloaded Linux OS users are able to browse the web unfiltered becuase the VM does not have the proxy client.Does anyone have any ideas about how I go about making sure the VM is filtered.Its VMWare workstation player that is being used to load the VM.Thanks

To keep that CyberStart VM filtered through your proxy, consider installing the proxy client directly within the Linux OS on the VM. This way, it syncs up with your ICT suite settings. Check your proxy provider's documentation for Linux setup instructions. If that doesn't cut it, maybe explore VMWare Player's network settings to see if you can route the VM traffic through your proxy.

Surely unauthenticated connections should recive the strictest filtering, not no filtering?

 

If the filtering etc provided by the LA I would get them to make some changes as right now if a pupil grabs a non school laptop/chromebook plugs it into an ethernet port they'll receive unfiltered access as it stands?

Strict filtering for unauthenticated connections is indeed crucial. Implement network access controls to prevent unauthenticated devices from bypassing the proxy.Implement a system where any new device (like a non-school laptop or Chromebook) must authenticate before gaining internet access. This could be through a captive portal or NAC system.
