OVERVIEW
Ensure secure browsing on school devices
Our web filtering solution protects students by ensuring secure browsing on all school devices. Admins install the NordLayer app on school computers, configure DNS filtering, and enforce an Always-On VPN. This protects students using school devices, whether in classrooms, libraries, or other school environments, ensuring a focused and safe digital experience.
