Talk Straight - Anyone else having issues?
RobMason replied to Alastairb25's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
If you guys drop me a PM with your school details I can have a look at the tickets. As Dave has said we have no issues with performance at the moment. Rob -
Schools Broadband In-line Filter down?
RobMason replied to snagrat's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Good Morning Caffrey Is this happening consistently? Our monitoring isn't flagging anything and I haven't heard of any other reports. FYI, you can't browse to the URL directly, that is by design. Thanks, -

Schoolsbroadband NS WAgent issues
RobMason replied to sister_annex's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Morning, That looks more or less correct, you don't overly need the -F What issues are you actually seeing? Have you prepended the relevant groups in AD with sbb as per the -s As you are using -f the wagent will log to ~/.Netsweeper Workstation Agent/wagent.log and is normally pretty good at telling you what is wrong (generally scroll right to the bottom) Thanks, -

Netsweeper - Turning off key word filters
RobMason replied to MrWu's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Good Evening Mr Wu, We run two different keyword lists, a master list that is applied by default to all users and a primary school list - both of which have been built over the years based on feedback from schools. A school can of course choose to adjust the filtering based on their specific requirements so there is no problem disabling the keyword filtering. As long as you have a dedicated filtering group for your 6th formers we can just disable it for those users, or as caffrey stated you can allow words that are causing false positives within the local lists within your policies. If you are struggling just drop me a PM. Hope that clears things up, Thanks, -

RobMason replied to snagrat's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Good Afternoon All, Hopefully you all read the roadmap that was released a couple of weeks back, resolving the outstanding issue with the log feed is now priority one after a January without the issues from last year. We initially planned to get this resolved in September when it initially raised its head but the webadmin problems ended up taking precedence. Please rest assured that logs are not being lost, it is just the live feed that is delayed and can timeout. My engineers are currently working on the problem with Netsweeper and we will have both a fix and increase in report performance soon. Thanks, -

As per the above from @andy_b any customers with this issue will now be resolved, we have passed information on this setting change to Netsweeper who are looking at making it a default setting in future releases. Thanks,

Netsweeper Captive Portal with Schools Broadband
RobMason replied to TMBS's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
For the time being we enable the captive portal at the request of customers, this feature will become self serve at a later date. The certificate is going to be embedded in our new block (and captive portal) pages when we release them over the summer. Hopefully this will help. Thanks, -
Netsweeper Captive Portal with Schools Broadband
RobMason replied to TMBS's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Hi Tracey, Can you drop me a PM with some contact details and school name so I can take a look at the setup? It sounds like the trigger to present the captive portal has been misconfigured. Just an FYI, with the new wagent we can inject user/group without the device being on the domain, not sure if this would be easier for you. Obviously this assumes that it is only the one user using the laptop. Thanks,
