Smoothwall Cloud Filter , Edge sidebar

[2097]

Hi ,

 

Any one using the Smoothwall cloud filter "Edge" addon ?

 

We use this for our intune devices , seems to work great apart from the following

 

If not disabled , Users can add a custom app to the side bar ( i.e. Youtube ) , this then bypass's all filtering ? ( within that window)

 

Apart from disabling the sidebar , anything else that i need to disable that allows them to bypass this.

 

Thanks !

That should be sufficient - we had to work with Microsoft to get that loophole closed!

I think it's hard for Smoothwall to keep track of all the changes that happen in Windows and Edge.

 

Mircosoft has this which can contain good information.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/education/windows/

 

Have you followed this guide?https://kb.smoothwall.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017297219-Install-Cloud-Filter-on-Windows-10-11-using-Intune-Multiple-Browsers

 

As well as turning off USB so they can't bot some OS or get things they shouldn't into their computers:https://kb.smoothwall.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005387519-Block-USB-Ports-using-Windows-Group-Policy-Object-GPO

Thanks Joel ,

 

Everything like that is disabled.

 

The only thing that is still allowed is Edge Extensions , Can we disable users from installing edge extensions ? will the Smoothwall client still work ?

 

Thanks

AFAIK you can disable users from installing extensions - as yours will be force installed

Here you will find more information about the Edge extension: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-manage-extensions

Got the extension ID jbldkhfglmgeihlcaeliadhipokhocnm , is this correct for the cloud fulter ?
