Filter

Application control by policy is an important feature we don't have with LightSpeed since migrating from Cisco Umbrella. We need to be able to discover, identify and control (allow and block) applications with LightSpeed filter, and the LightSpeed to provides categorization to the applications.

I've disabled all categories and smartplay but still allowed YT. My goal is to have YouTube videos only available if they've been explicitly added by me. This is mostly working, but there are some videos that are categorized as "Unknown" and they are still allowed to be played. This video specifically comes up "Unknown" and is allowed by the the filter: https://youtu.be/WmWCAujwbrE Can we add an Unknown block rule, or just not allow these by default?

For example, we have teacher with 6 physics classes and the students need access to geogebra.org . I have allowed geogebra.org for those 6 classes only but that means when they leave physics class, they will still have access in their other classes. Does lightspeed web fitler smart agent have a timer? We also just recently implemented classroom management, can we use that somehow to put a timer on access to geogebra.org ?

Need to be able to monitor how many smart agents are installed, what version, and how many have completed the update to latest version.

Hello, I am aware that at the moment it is possible to upload URLs in bulk into certain categories. I was hoping that you could add the ability in the same process to attach notes to each of the entries in the upload. This was I can add information such as when these URLs were added into the category and why. Thank you for your time, William Amis

We use SCCM to deploy the filter agent. On uninstall of the old agent a forced reboot with no notification is done. This is very problematic as it can happen while people are using their machines. Mostly laptops so I can't deploy at night as they might not be in the office. If a reboot is required then a notification to reboot at the least is ideal.

It would be nice to have the ability to disable the Smart Agent on a device for either a set amount of minutes or until turned back on. This would help with troubleshooting filtering issues since the web activity log takes a bit of time to show results.

We have found students misusing sites that need to be on the SSL decryption list. Tracking down what exactly they are doing is nearly impossible becuase there is no log of their web activity. We need for items on the SSL decryption list to be logged.

Ability to deploy chrome filter agent at device level instead of just at user policy

Not sure if this is possible but would like to have a filtering agent for browser that could work (installed) for 3rd party VMs (non domain) that is hosted by the 3rd party (such as Azure Labs or AVD from Microsoft) but cannot be added as internal network for Smart Shield or DNS filter. Having such of an agent that would prompt for authentication for the school board domain account (email and password) when opening any browser. Also, maybe this could work on BYOD devices.
