  1. Got no BBC video coming through the above, sound okay. Tried it on a 4G connection and the device/screen is fine, just failing to deliver video through the smoothwall. Any ideas?
  2. Anybody filtering the youtube app on IOS successfully? Got smoothwall in place, youtube being pushed to restricted successfully through browsers but not getting the same in youtube app. Can see the content going to *.googlevideo.com in logs but no attempt to go restricted. Any ideas?
  3. We have built a meru wireless network with smoothwall filtering and we are now experimenting with the best way to manage school owned windows and IOS clients and BYOD. Anybody got this sorted yet? Our current issues revolve around... Choosing which authentication method is used for each group of clients Transparent and non-transparent proxies Managing W7 Starter netbooks Managing Ipad & Ipod Touches Guest users
  4. We are setting up a pilot at present which is one ruckus zone director centrally in a DMZ with a smoothwall proxy filter. The APs are tunneled back to the DMZ from half a dozen schools. The zone director is authenticating against AD and the smoothwall has a non-transparent proxy authentication off. All wireless traffic will be restricted to the DMZ and internet and will not touch the local network. Our intention for the pilot is to use our own kit with IE configured to use the proxy filter. I couldn't get the captive portal to work everytime so have set the captive portal page as the home page in the browser. This works reasonably well for the pilot although we will need to look at a more flexible solution for personal clients etc. There is a problem however with the authentication. When a wireless client logs of or even shuts down, restarting the client a few minutes later will give access under the previous user's login details. I have not tried a longer pause but would have expected the authentication to be dropped when the client was no longer connected. Any ideas?
