I know of a school where one parent donated it to cash converters! When challenged said "you gave it to me, so I can do what I like with it" !

Depends if you intend to leave it in for +3 +5 +10 years? All markets fluctuate.

We gave the Smoothwall a reboot at lunchtime and the problem seems to be fixed! Shame it's not fixed our other Smoothwall issue... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/226134-bromcom-reports-timeouts-using-smoothwall.html

Hi, With this site? Regards

We have put "bidfooddirect.co.uk" in a category on the smoothwall which is "Do Not Filter" for "everyone" - and still get issues. Also put "bidfooddirect.co.uk" in a HTTPS inspection policies "Do Not Inspect" Not sure I can do anymore - yet going through the Smoothwall can be slow, images don't render or we get blank pages. Bypass the Smoothwall and everything renders correctly :/

spinning waiting circle when accessing https://www.bidfooddirect.co.uk/#/home If I bypass our on-site Smoothwall the page loads correctly. Smoothwall claim no issue with the box Anyone also on a grid, ideally the SWGfL, can you get to this site? Anyone on a smoothwall appliance, can you get to this site? Anyone with both? We've already got issues with report pages timing out on Bromcom going through the Smoothwall Not been my best week....

Smoothwall have checked all the settings on our Smoothwall appliance. Thank you for your time on the phone. During the call we made sure the URLs provided by Bromcom were in their own category which was then whitelisted through the web filtering and exempt from both the HTTPS inspection and Authentication Proxy. We also added the IPs into the Smoothwalls destination exemptions and also into the end user devices internet options exceptions to make sure traffic was not being passed through the proxy of the Smoothwall, effectively relegating the Smoothwall to the role of a router for that specific traffic. Just to be sure, I also added the non-standard web port they use (port 444) into the web proxy settings to make sure it was not being blocked for security reasons. Even after doing all of the above, the issue still remained. We were not getting a block page, we were getting a gateway timeout issue. This, combined with the traffic being completely exempt from all Smoothwall functions that could impact this traffic, indicates that the issue is upstream at either the LGFL level or on Bromcoms side. I would recommend asking LGFL to completely whitelist everything coming from the Smoothwall device to remove them form the equation. If you then test through the Smoothwall and the Bromcom reports work then the issue is at LGFL's side. If the Bromcom reports still time out, then its an issue at Bromcoms side. So, we go through the Smoothwall and the reports "time-out". We bypass the Smoothwall and the reports (eventually) run. Yet the Smoothwall is not the problem :/

Current error when report "times-out"

Maybe you're right.

If anyone is using Bromcom through SWGfL or similar please can they let me know. We are getting timeout issues when running reports. Smoothwall have checked all their settings and believe they are not filtering in any way the traffic, yet when we bypass the smoothwall the reports eventually complete. They think there could be some kind of "double-filtering" issue :/ Interested in other school's setups....

Is there anyone running Bromcom through anything similar to the SWGfL AND using an on-site Smoothwall? Engineer cannot get reports to run if we go through the Smoothwall

Good Morning, I installed some remote control software on my home laptop and connected in this morning when I got to school. I ran the same test report on both my work PC (bypassing Smoothwall) and at home and started them at the same time. They finished within seconds of each other, 2 minutes 50 seconds to complete. So my questions are now. Did the report used to run in seconds and is there now something making it take a lot longer? How long "should" the running of this report take? I'll message you the case reference.

Call open. My data manager seems adamant the exact same report at home runs in seconds, but the best I've managed is 3 minutes when bypassing the smoothwall box and 3 minutes on a laptop using my phone as a hotspot (4G) So I'm very confused as to why she can get it to run so much quicker from home.

No call opened yet. Report parameters are in opening post. Data manager provided details for testing, she assures me when running similar reports at home they run in seconds, but time-out or take many minutes when in school! Should I open a ticket? I've already opened one with Smoothwall to find out why the reports time-out after 5 minutes. One open with SWGfL to find out if our broadband could be throttling traffic to and from Bromcom (all other sites are fine) May as well open one with your support as well

These are our results! Can't get anywhere near "minutes" - either through Smoothwall it can never run at all - or bypassing Smoothwall it's between 3 and 19 minutes in testing! Through Smoothwall : Start test 9.54. Failed by 10.00 Start test 10.31. Failed by 10.35 Start test 10.59. Failed by 11.03 Start test 11.19. Failed by 11.25 Bypass Smoothwall : Start test 10.05 - 10.24 - 19 minutes. Start test 10.41 - 10.50 - 9 minutes. Start test 10.55 - 10.58 - 3 minutes. I'm sure Bromcom will blame our Internet Connection - but no speed tests are always at 100Meg and above. And surely the process is not bandwidth heavy? The final file is only about 60kb in size? Raising support calls with Bromcom is a hit and miss exercise but I don't see this an issue with our internet connection, but data manager tells me she tries at home it takes seconds too ARrrggghhhhhh

Hi, When we run reports through Bromcom that take a while to run, (that's another issue) they seem to time out after five minutes when proxy set as Smoothwall. If we bypass the smoothwall the reports can take ages to run. One I'm using as a trial to see where issue is, is taking 20 minutes!!! Is it normal a report should take this long to run? These are the report parameters.

Attendance Officer this morning reporting Bromcom slow downs again. Anyone else?

Month after month of lockdown?

I find Dr. John Campbell's videos on YouTube very informative. https://www.youtube.com/c/Campbellteaching

Boom. £13.75

I've taken Vitamin D tablets for the first time this winter. Wondering if any other +50 year olds take these or indeed take something all year round. From Interweb: As you age, your body’s nutritional requirements can change and certain nutrients may be required in greater quantities. The digestive system also becomes less efficient at absorbing nutrients from the food you eat.

I've just logged in to Ladbrokes and put my £5 on rats, disappointing odds at 7/4 on but didn't think badgers at 500/1 was even worth a punt.

None of the games work here - protected using Smoothwall.

Hope it's not a ghost... Heard they are trickier to get rid of.
