Thanks for the suggestion. My setup is actually Edge + Ublock origin and I've not seen ads or the alert from YouTube. Having said that even when I've tried in Chrome without Ublock I've still not seen the warning or before I changed the Smoothwall policy any adverts. This could actually be the push I needed to convince people to let me get rid of Chrome and just have Edge installed.

Just looking at the purchase page - https://examwritepad.com/purchase/ - and there is now only a one year option priced at £499 + VAT

Is anyone else running Smoothwall (Leeds 78 but in this case the user is purely Cloud Filter) blocking adverts but running into Problems accessing YouTube? I've had two reports this week from Teachers that they can't play videos and are instead getting a message saying Ad blockers violate YouTube's terms of service. Short of removing my content modification that Removes YouTube adverts is there anything that can be done?

Cheers. I did that and they provided information I already knew which wasn't working. It turns out the app wants to talk UDP on port 443 which appears to be the quik protocol.

Has anyone ever come across the Ecat iOS app and managed to make it work through a Smoothwall? Looking in the logs I'm not seeing any blocks for any URLs ending ecat.co (or login is schoolname.ecat.co) but when trying to login to the app I'm presented with a message saying No Internet Connection. Normally this would match up with a nice pink entry in the Smoothwall log that I can use as the start of a rule to allow or bypass https inspection but here absolutely nothing. I'm seeing some entries for doh.umbrella.com, dns.umbrella.com, doh.opendns.com and dns.opendns.com around the same time which has me wondering if it's trying to use DNS over https and can't.

Make sure the board is on before going full screen in PowerPoint.

The iPad Air 2 might be too old or not have enough capacity to support what you’re trying to do. Although I’d expect Meraki would know that.

Does anyone else suddenly feel out of their depth because they hadn’t even heard of Crowdstrike before Friday? Imposter syndrome isn’t something I normally have but it’s appeared these last few days.

I think SIMS should be compatible as of this years spring release but haven’t tested it yet.

Are you logged in with the correct Apple ID? That feels like the only thing that would return no existing certificates.

Once everyone logs out it syncs. In my experience it's well under a minute for a policy change to apply.

We run 3CX with Voiceflex SIP lines.

Sky Q appears to still be a thing so I can't see why not - https://www.sky.com/tv/sky-q

OneDrive or Google Drive feel like the obvious options.

Adding a UDP rule doesn't make a difference. Bringing up the Dev tools in Edge gives me WebSocket connection to 'wss://4b44d6cc-e637-420a-99fb-c9926acbf1d0-00-393cmxdpyvuip.janeway.replit.dev:5900/' failed: This is going through Smoothwall cloud filter in our case and bypassing the local box.

I got it working yesterday putting a firewall rule in place to allow TCP traffic out on port 5900 but it's stopped working today. Destination is still the same. I haven't tried adding a UDP rule to allow port 5900. I'll try that now.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question so apologies if it's in the wrong place. Currently we use Trustwave Mailmarshal on premise as our email filter and are generally happy with it. We are looking though to move to a cloud based solution after having migrated from on premise Exchange to Exchange online. What email filtering are you all using? Just looking for suggestions at the moment.

We’ve got options here - Greater Manchester - of Openreach or Brsk. Both come from the telegraph pole following the same path our copper line currently takes. A friend in Oxfordshire has fibre to his house via the pole too. Check the pole that serves your house and if you see multiple boxes at the top then it’s likely this will be your route.

How long does it take to get to the error state? If it's taking an hour or more it could be that your database is huge which can cause timeouts. We had a problem when out database was over 60GB. The ulitmate solution was to manually run a patch to clear everything apart from the last 12 months worth of InTouch messages.

There's a footnote talking about regional pricing. I definitely took it to mean that it will be available in the UK.

It probably is but don't worry as I've got (a lot) more than that with an ongoing project to try and tidy things up.

We’ve seen the same. Smoothwall box not happy but cloud filter allows.

Is rearranging the monitors so student rooms are all 4:3 an option?

https://educationblog.microsoft.com/en-us/2024/04/windows-10-end-of-support-updates-for-education Education pricing looks very un-Microsoft for those devices that can’t be updated (officially) to Windows 11. $1 per device for year one, $2 for year two and $4 for year three.
