Configuring iBoss Cloud Security Proxy to Allow LanSchool Air

Configuring iBoss Cloud Security Proxy to Allow LanSchool Air

Overview

If student devices are appearing as "Offline" after an instructor has started class, it could be related to a network communication error caused by a content filter, firewall, or proxy. 

Before continuing: In most cases, simply ensuring that students are able to access the correct URLs for LanSchool Air services is sufficient. See LanSchool Air System Requirements for details.

If simply allowing the URLs through the filter doesn't help, it may be due to the proxy requiring students to authenticate first, preventing the LanSchool Air client from connecting successfully at launch. In these cases, follow these instructions for information on how to configure the iBoss Cloud Security proxy (for example) to allow student devices to connect to LanSchool Air services prior to requiring authentication via the proxy.
