Morning Chaps, Just finally got around to installing our NED Box and have set it up without the AD integration just using the web filter to setup a whitelist for the pupils in school. I was wondering if anyone had a list of whitelist sites that i could add to my whitelist and save me a lot of time in building up a bank of websites before i roll this out in school. Your help would be massively appreciated! Thankyou

I can't seem to find an existing thread regarding this, but I have a question. For those schools who supply iPad's to their staff, do you make use of an approved whitelist of apps? Or do you allow staff to install their own apps as they see fit? Do you perform a DPIA for all apps in use? Or inversely, do you make use of an app blacklist? Would be interested in answers. Mainly because we are about to distribute new iPads (to replace some older ones on a lease agreement) and the question was raised regarding data protection. What can apps access on devices, especially as we encourage staff to use them for work purposes, can data leak out through uncontrolled means?

Hello, I have tried to search for an answer to this but not had any luck so am hoping someone on here can help... We have just implemented the blocking of USB Storage Devices on our School Computers. As was expected there are exceptional circumstances that require the use of a USB Device to be allowed (Microbits being just one). So we have gone with a Whitelist approach using USBDLM on the Windows PCs. All working no problems. Unfortunately, we are not having much luck applying the same rules to the Chromebooks/boxes. In the Google Admin Console, we can see that in the user based settings we are able to 1 - allow USBs, 2 - allow USBs but read-only and 3 - block USBs altogether. Not exactly what we are after.In the Device settings there is a setting that is called USB Detachable Whitelist. This sounds like it should do what we need but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be the case. Regardless of what Vendor and PID details we enter the devices we do NOT want to be accessible are still showing up in the File app! So I guess the question is, has anyone been able to block USB devices but Whitelist a particular device(s) in ChromeOS? Hopefully someone has understood the problem I am facing and might have a solution or at the very least it would be nice to know that it's not just us with this issue. Thanks in advance.

How would we go about setting up an email whitelist? We want to only allow students to send and receive emails to and from addresses that we've approved globally to their groups We use Exim/ Squid on our Slackware box maintained by the LEA (they also update it so changes would have to go through them, although I do have root access). I'm sure it's possible but have no idea where to start. If anyone could point me to guides etc. Thanks
