Webinar Duration: 46 minutes (approx.)

This webinar will focus on the VPN technology that children and young people typically use to get around filtering controls. We’ll explain how VPNs tunnel through your protection and the practical steps that you can take to detect and block usage. We’ll also look into the less common methods for bypassing school and college protection, from the use of proxy websites to remote accessing a home computer. Again, we’ll explain how all staff can detect and block such access.

This webinar will also look beyond the harmful content that VPNs give access to and look at the wider security risks, including the potential for hackers to take control of a computer or use your school’s internet connection for malicious purposes.
