• Content filtering using proxy

Overview

There are two ways to filter content for Windows devices — via Google Workspace with the Chrome extension or via the content filtering proxy.

The Chrome browser on a Windows device can be managed by pushing the Chrome extension via Google Workspace. However, the Deledao proxy can also be installed on Windows devices to filter content for all browsers.

Both the Deledao proxy and the Chrome extension can be installed on the same machine and work together. By default, when the Chrome extension detects a proxy existing on the machine, the extension will take over the filtering within Chrome. Other browsers such as Firefox or Edge will continue using the proxy for filtering. If administrators would like to stop using the extension in Chrome on Windows, they can check the option "Use Chrome extension to filter Chromebooks only".

Content filtering using extension

If you would like to filter Chrome only by using the Deledao ActiveScan, presented by Hāpara extension, you will need to configure Chrome to avoid using a proxy on Windows. This can be achieved in the Google Workspace admin console by doing the following:

• Go to Devices -> Chrome -> Settings -> Users & browsers.
• Find the section Network, then change Proxy mode to Never use a proxy.  Click Save in the upper right corner.
• Restart Chrome to get the new policy.

Content filtering using proxy

If you choose to use only the proxy as the content filter for Chrome, the extension should be set to stop filtering within Chrome, which can be done through web filter admin console:

• Log into admin.deledao.com.
• Go to Configuration > Global Settings.
• Enable the option Use Chrome extension to filter Chromebooks only.
• For the changes to take effect immediately, go to https://static.deledao.com/mobile/diag.html, click Refresh Policy.
