If you are still receiving the error - Error Proxy connection failed - please ensure you clear your schools local DNS cache. If this still doesn't allow the school to access the internet again, then please call our Helpdesk on 0345 145 1234 and the team will be more than happy to help.

    Investigating

    We have received multiple calls from customers who are unable to access the internet when using SurfProtect. From our diagnostics, we have been able to determine that the issue only affects devices using a proxy, devices using transparent filtering are not affected. Removing the proxy from an affected device will allow it to access the internet, but please we aware that removing the proxy from a device could alter the filtering profile assigned to the user. Our Services team are investigating this and we will provide further updates as soon as we have them.
