Accessing HTTPS Sites on the Wireless Network.
Internet Filtering is required by law in a high school environment, and all devices, both school owned or personal must be filtered when connected to the ERA network. Students who are having problems accessing sites such as Google.com, and other HTTPS: secured sites will need to add an SSL certificate into the Chrome Browser to access HTTPS sites while using their personal device on the ERA Network. If students do not want to download the certificate, students may use their personal data plan to access the internet.
This certificate only effects the Chrome browser on your device, not the device directly. If students do not want to install the certificate, you do not have to, however, your browsing will be restricted to only those sites that use an HTTP URL. You will not be able to use most major search engines as they currently use HTTPS.
