Dear All,
I am pleased to inform you all that the testing of SWGfL SafetyNet with the changes that Google made over the weekend have been successfully completed.
From Wednesday morning:
· https://encrypted.google.com will be blocked and therefore access to Search over SSL will be prevented for all users in the SWGfL. School have the option to unblock https://encrypted.google.com , but there should be no reason for taking this option.
· https://www.google.com will be unblocked. This will enable the use Gmail and other Google application which require a Log on to be used. Please note that if you visit the site https://www/google/com the page will be displayed as if you are about to make a search, but when you attempt to make a search the https://encrypted.google.com filter will block the site.
· If users attempt to use http://encrypted.google.com there will not be any SWGfL SafetyNet filtering page, but a browser message stating that the browser cannot display the web page. This is because the block is on a https:// page.
· The SWGfL Support desk is ready to provide assistance should schools have any queries.
Hopefully it will all work now!!
