Block / Unblock Web Sites
While surfing the internet, occasionally, the
firewall will open rather than the web page you were
hoping to find.
TISD has installed a firewall, which blocks
access within the district’s WAN to certain web
sites, which may contain content deemed
inappropriate for school use.
The Firewall may also block ads within a
website, alternative search engines, portals, and
image servers.
TISD is providing Internet access for
educational purposes; users are not guaranteed full
access to all sites.
If a user attempts to enter a web site that
has been blocked by the firewall, he or she will be
returned to the TISD home page.
