I have been searching and having demos for quite some time, thats the impression I'm getting. Pupil owned machines need man in the middle otherwise you are opening up yourself to trying to install software on their machines and all sorts of other issues that come with that.

We currently use Barracuda firewall and Censornet for our web filtering. We now want to delve in deeper and setup keyword searching and alerts. Unfortunately it seems that this is an additional module on either device at a cost of more than what we are currently paying. Our senior school heavily use pupil owned devices which is where we get a bit stuck. There are web filtering solutions out there, but these rely on an agent being installed. You can imagine how that will go down, although Senior management believe they will be able to convince parents to install these, I am not confident in their persuasive ability. Does anyone know or use any device that can sit between their devices and the outside world, that doesn't need any additional software installing, but will do keyword searching, alerting etc, and quite importantly won't kill my budget.

SquareUp https://squareup.com/gb/en/2018/home?country_redirection=true Works with Proxy, really easy to setup, we use with iPad. Can use it on site using WiFi, or connect to mobile phone and use off site, it’s great!

AssetTiger is already set up and hosted (for free) so can be accessed from anywhere and has an app. SnipeIT is $39.99 per month hosted, otherwise you have to download, setup and host yourself and self-manage. Just for that alone AssetTiger is a much better choice. No maintenance or worries if its up to date etc.

I'm on iOS 11.2.2 and its still working fine. Once I update to 11.2.5 I'll test again, but might not be for a few days.

Hi all, I've been asked to sit in on interviews for a computing and ICT teacher for years 6-11 tomorrow. I can interview for an IT position, but for a teacher's position, now that's a different kettle of fish. What sort of questions should I be asking? Any advice on what to look out for or interviewing techniques for this one? Have any non-teaching IT people been asked to sit on this type of interview before, I'd be grateful for the advice? Thanks in advance

CRAP, absolute rubbish, don’t do it, you will regret it. Promise you everything, deliver less than nothing. Cheap, there is a reason for that. 8 months of telling them there was something wrong with their kit, they promised they would escalate every time. When they finally changed it their Senior Technician couldn’t get it to work. In the end I managed to get it working, God knows how. Now if we need anything changing, I dread picking up the phone. I’ve told support off like a child for tutting at me down the phone. Over 40 hours of phone calls to them in the first 8 months alone. As compensation they offered us another year on top. WHY would we take another year of your awful service and rubbish hardware. I’m happy for anyone from Barracuda to come back and fight their corner, but they won’t. They have ignored all correspondence about redressing this. Avoid like your job depended on it, because it will if you recommend them. Spread the work, share my post. You’ll have a headache that no tablets will cure. Enough feedback? I can go on!!!

Hi all, I hope I'm posting in the most appropriate forum. We have a company that is developing an app and looking to trial in schools. We are currently trialling it in our (private) school and I have been asked to help with the technical side of installations as they will be trialling in LEA schools. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the protocol of third party app/program installations in these schools so was wondering if anyone can shed some light onto this. We have this week installed in a school, the desktop app has to contact their servers in order to check the login credentials are correct. This was fine, but the app would go no further and wouldn't download the course material further. Working with one of the ICT co-ordinators (one of the teachers, who isn't very technical) we discovered that the teachers have to log into a web portal in order to allow them to access to more websites. Once the teacher entered their credentials, the app would then work properly. I am concerned that each time a pupil will use the app, the teacher will first have to enter their credentials so that the app isn't blocked by the firewall (I'm assuming that its an LEA firewall the the teacher has logged into). What steps should be taken in order to install third party desktop apps in order to add them to the "safe apps list" so that the pupils will be able to use it without the teachers having to insert their credentials each time? Is there a process that the app development would need to go through to allow it to be certified as a safe app by the LEA to allow it to work through the firewall? Thanks in advance

We have 80M

Wireshark is showing the server is receiving DHCP requests, BUT it seems to be only requesting on the 192.168.67.x range. Also showing destination as 255.255.255.255 which doesn't look right to me. Please see screen shot. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32428[/ATTACH]
