Our policy states that any attempt to bypass school proxies and/or filters is a violation of the AUP and the offender is subject to suspension of privileges.
We usually take away all computer access during the regular school day for 2 weeks for 1st offense. Meaning, those without privileges have to come in before or after school to do any computer work at school. With as much work as we do on computers here we rarely have 2nd offenses, but the time goes up from there. Last year one student lost privileges for a whole quarter. Just this morning I re-instated 3 students that were found to be playing games.

We'd prob have 90% of the kids on it for using https://www.facebook.com before we put opendns in. But I would like to put in a policy for trying to beat the system in the future.

So I also use www.opendns.com to block the dns names, which also stops https sites. OpenDNS has category blocking and proxies is one of it's categories. So far, I'm pretty impressed by how many it gets. I've been watching some of the students try now, and it does a really good job. Plus it's free.

If so what appliance actually does this? Thanks, Tony Richardson Technology Coordinator Humboldt Community School District [EMAIL PROTECTED]
