  1. I would hope that they (our Government) do the same as they have done in Australia in regard to social media where if you check not everyone is asked for their age Social media 'ban' or delay FAQ | eSafety Commissioner also having a friend who lives their none of his family have been asked for age checks and only one person he knows has been asked and that was a minor who was 14.
  2. How did you reach that conclusion?
  3. It depends on what they are using it for doesn't it really. The use of VPNs isn't the bad thing it's what it is being used to achieve.
  4. Yes, that's correct also they would not be able to tell the different traffic being generated by a minor to an adult due to how NAT works? The only way to reduce VPN usage is to put the onus on the VPN providers like Australia has done for social media. Yes, it will not be perfect some will find way around this by spinning up their own servers etc but it going to reduce the usage of VPNs by children by a number greater than 0 which is a good thing is it not.
  5. We have just found ourselves with this issue our Music department has just reported tthat they cannot open Logic 12, I have blocked the update now but Ia ma sure about half of our macs are now on it We don't get this screen I am guessing it because I have the App store block in Mosyle, for us we just get a quit option. I am going to take a look and see if I can get this screen to appear.
  6. Well, it just gets worse I guess https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/sonicwall-vpn-accounts-breached-using-stolen-creds-in-widespread-attacks/
  7. Sorry I can't be of much help, but I started looking at them and setting them up over half term but never got round to testing them (ran out of time) therefore I was going to wait for the summer holidays maybe glad I did if there are issues. Their support is a bit shall I say nicely poor at times it can sometimes be because you are dealing with an agent in the states and therefore in a different timezone. They did use to have a team in the UK but I don't know any more if they do or not
  8. Just wondering if you find a way to stop exe files as we have just run into this ourselves
  9. I have also found this to be true, it seems like tickets are being handled by US support so you don't get a reply till after we finish for the day which means it can take a few days of going back and forward.
  10. Sheridan How I did the move over the summer was: I had all members of a group assigned an A1 Plus plan, so I just removed this licence first from the group waited a few mins and then added the A3 licence to that group. I did hold my breath, but it worked fine no one lost access to anything.
  11. When we moved from A1 Plus to A3 we have to get enough licences to cover anyone that needed to use the desktop apps even if they were part time. We also purchased a few extra A3 licenses to cover temp accounts etc that may come along so we do have a few A3 licenses unassigned.
  12. I am watching this thread with interest as our Head of Computer Science has put in a ticket about this just yesterday.
  13. We are slowly moving over to OneDrive and Teams\SharePoint, we are taking a drip drip approach where we are moving slowing but making sure that everyone is happy and onboard with the process and have not run into any major show stoppers as of yet.
  14. We only have just over 700 users in total and we have set it to use 5 digits for pins. I think you can increate the pin longer if you wish too.
