Orbi RBR50 with Circle blocking all sites on school laptop
Hi folks,
My daughter's school laptop runs Windows. It seems to operate via a school network which allows monitoring and control over app installation and some blocking of sites.
I'm running Orbi with circle app (version 2.1.12 (873)). Unfortunately, when the laptop is assigned to her profile, she can't access any sites beyond the school's own 'schoolbox' site. Blank page says "This page isn't working. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". When I make the device 'unmanaged', she can access anything. Similarly, she can access most sites when physically at school. And from home any site works from her personal iPhone or iPad. She contacted the school's IT people and they said sometimes parental controls on a router can cause this problem - without offering her a solution other than removing controls.
I there anything that can be done here? Is the net traffic going via some sort of VPN for all students to get onto the internet and circle or ORBI aren't compatible with that? I'd really like to be able to set time limits etc. on the device and some granular control.
Am speaking to Netgear support. They are struggling to resolve.
Seems to be conflict between school platform (which has some sort of filtering/management of its own, possibly using something called 'Roamsafe agent') and Circle/ORBI.
If I put the device into a circle profile with 'none' as the setting, it tends to access web ok.
But that seems to cripple or parental controls other than block/allow for the device.
