A new filtering frontier

The majority of K-12 districts have migrated to cloud-based filtering.

However, many IT leaders acknowledge the cloud-filter feature gaps and recognize the benefits of on-premises solutions.

Read on to learn how School Manager addresses those gaps.

School Manager introduction

Harness the power of hybrid filtering

Don’t settle for only cloud or on-premise—have both.

A unique approach to hybrid filtering.

Linewize offers the only true hybrid cloud web filter in North America. This allows you to scale much more efficiently and still experience all the benefits of cloud and inline filtering — without any of the cons.

Say goodbye to certificates & proxies. 

Linewize’s filtering clients can view and control full path URLs — not just DNS traffic — directly at the browser lever. This eliminates the need to proxy or tunnel traffic to a third-party server.

Get your inline appliance back — no need to compromise.

With no need to proxy traffic on managed devices, our inline appliance only makes decisions for unmanaged devices. This leaves a very light touch on network traffic.

Future-proof your filter

School Manager helps address key filter challenges with forward-thinking features that allow you to:

Eliminate tunneled traffic
Direct browser-level control of URLs eliminates the need for third-party servers and certificate management 

Take control of unmanaged devices
Reduce network load with an inline appliance that focuses solely only on unmanaged devices

What our customers say

Having a physical on-premise box and cloud-based solution allows us to filter both in-house and at home for student devices that are taken home. For us, that is a big piece of the pie. And, whether we make a change on the cloud or on the appliance, the changes are transmitted simultaneously.
