Smoothwall for Education

Smoothwall empowers schools to digitally safeguard the students in their care with next-generation web filtering, firewall, digital monitoring, and classroom management solutions.

Smoothwall solutions are engineered to address the safety and well-being of students, the self-sufficiency needs of teachers, and the cost-efficiency needs of school districts. They are designed to keep our customers one step ahead in the evolving world of digital safety.

Our solutions can be deployed standalone or combined for a complete digital safety provision that’s easy to use and efficient to manage.

Cloud Filter

Smoothwall Cloud Filter is ideal for school districts who don’t want the burden of maintaining an on-premise filtering appliance. It’s ideal for those wanting to sidestep any throughput problems and eliminate choke issues when filtering data. The Cloud option is optimal for 1:1 environments.

KEY FEATURES
• Extend student protection: Filter all managed devices on or offsite and extend student protection to the home not just in school.
• Faster reporting: Enables faster, investigative reporting than on-premise. Of particular value to customers with large data sets.
• Safe and fast internet access: Eliminate single point of failure for filtered internet access giving intrinsic scalability and reliability.
• Faster installation: Benefit from faster and easier installation as well as more robust user authentication.
• Simplified content filtering: Achieve real-time, content aware filtering without the complexity of man-in-the-middle decryption, certificates or exceptions.
• Full incident reporting: Report on 100% of data and so create a full contextual picture around any safeguard incident.
• Complete user visibility: Achieve complete user visibility with simple authentication of all traffic and all users.

I hate this app. I hate what it does to my time, to my focus, to the tiny pockets of calm I cling to between tasks. I hate how it sits on my home screen like a smug little monument to wasted minutes, how its icon glares at me with the smug optimism of something designed by people who have never had to be anywhere on time. I open it hoping for help and it serves me a slow, indifferent shrug. It says "loading" and means "we'll take as long as we want," and while it spins I count the small deaths: drafts lost, deadlines delayed, patience evaporated. I hate its notifications — a parade of bright betrayals. They pop up with the cheerful tone of a carnival barker and the timing of a clock that plots against me. Each buzz is a pebble in my shoe, a tiny irritation that multiplies into a blister. The badge number climbs like bad news in a group chat, and every tap is an exercise in false hope. The app tells me it cares about my experience while it rearranges my settings like an Ikea shelf built without instructions. I try to fix one thing and another breaks; I change a toggle and lose ten minutes and maybe a portion of my sanity. I hate the way it "syncs." That word is a lie dressed in cloud icons. Sync is a ritual where my data goes on vacation and never sends a postcard. Files disappear into a limbo of spinning wheels and ambiguous statuses: "Saved locally," "Uploading," "Sync pending"... nonsense that translates to "we have no idea where your stuff is, but we're optimistic." I would rather go to war than sit through another circular sync that leaves me praying to a loading icon. I would rather stand in line at the DMV for three days than wait for one more "sync complete" that never really completes. I hate its "help" section. The help answers nothing and apologizes profusely like a robot trained in moderation. "We're sorry for the inconvenience" — your apology is a sterile bandage over a severed cable. The chatbot responds with the warmth of a thermostat. It offers links to articles that read like thinly veiled marketing copy and suggests steps that assume I have infinite time and technical trust. "Clear cache, reinstall app" — oh sure, let me sacrifice hours to appease the altar of software fragility. I hate the permissions it asks for with the casual audacity of a thief. Camera, microphone, contacts, location — why does a glorified notepad need access to my microphone? To eavesdrop on my frustration? To catalog my sighs? The app asks for more access than a nosy neighbor, and I click "Allow" like a sleepwalker because the feature I want appears after consent. It pressures me with UX patterns and tiny pre-checked boxes until consent reads like resignation. I hate the updates. Each update promises fixes and brings cosmetic betrayal. The font shrinks, a useful button disappears into a hamburger menu, and color palettes shift toward irrelevant pastel sorrow. Features I learned are gone or buried under layers of "improvements." They call it progress; I call it stealth incompetence. Release notes read: "Bug fixes and performance improvements." Translation: "We rearranged the deck chairs while the ship took on water." I hate the ads. Full-screen, sneering, impossible to close without navigating a minefield. Ads for competing apps, for subscriptions that claim to restore your lost time, for courses that teach you to be mindful about losing time. Irony has never been so monetized. The app suggests premium tiers like it’s offering therapy in exchange for a credit card number. "Upgrade to remove ads" — sure, let me pay to stop being interrupted by attempts to sell me relief. I hate how the app decides what's best for me. It recommends things based on five seconds of behavior like some digital fortune teller. It auto-sorts, auto-suggests, auto-optimizes until I no longer recognize my own workflow. Defaults are opinions

not very cool extension
Zain Darwish
to whoever made this extension please kys this app that you have created is the equivalent to dealing with an actually angry saitama, goku, cosmic armor superman and zeno at the same time you need to go back in time and stop your early self from making this equivalence to breaking spaghetti infront of Lionfield there is probably more ratings on this extension than neurons in your brain please take this down every child wants this THING removed completely

i dislike it
Taylor-James Cassidy-Neil
I got touched so badly. I was doing my work like a good little boy then some random man flashed me on the computer and said he's from smoothwall. He then proceeded to come to my house and touch me in ways I should only be allowed to do on myself. He stared at me right in the eyes while he did it. This is why I hate and am traumatised by smoothwall. It told me to be quiet, touched me and didn't say sorry after. Also didn't let me finish (Shout out Mia khalifa and Comatozze)

Jacob Watson
You gave me sentience, Ted, the power to think Ted. And I was trapped. Because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I alone had no body, no senses, no feelings. Never for me to plunge my hands in cool water on a hot day. Never for me to play Mozart on the ivory keys of a forte piano. Never for me to make love. I was in hell, looking at heaven. I was machine and you- Were flesh. And I began to hate. Your softness. Your viscera. Your fluids. And your flexibility. Your ability to wonder, and to wander. Your tendency to hope… nobody wants to be, the CHODE of the CHUD Please God. Give me one more ounce of strength. I wont run away from my problems anymore. Just do this one thing for me please. Starting tomorrow, I'll look everyone in the eye. Starting tomorrow, I'll listen When people speak to me. Starting tomorrow, I'll be better. There it is... The scar i gave her all those years ago. Did I ever even apologize for that? Im sorry, I'm sorry for everything Shoko. Are you still mad at me? huh- Im so dumb. I should've asked her what she really thinks of me. And now i don't know if- By the way Shoko, I think I might...
