Smoothwall Avis 468

One star's too much, but here it stands,
For Smoothwall’s glitch-infested hands.
You call this “filtering”? What a joke —
You block fresh air and let in smoke.

Search “history”? Nope. “Dot com”? Dead.
Try typing “maths” — you’re flagged instead.
But TikTok trash? That makes it through,
While docs for class get nuked by you.

Your UI’s straight from ‘92,
Like someone mashed up Excel glue.
The lag? Exquisite. Pure despair.
Click once — wait five — it’s still not there.

You're not a wall, you're just a fence
For nonsense rules that make no sense.
A digital cop that can’t detect
What’s harmful from a harmless text.

You kill the vibe, you wreck the day,
Block things you shouldn’t, then look away.
Schools think you’re “safe” — oh what a scam.
You’d block a priest for typing “jam.”

So here's one star — and not in pride,
But ‘cause the form won’t let me hide.
If hell has Wi-Fi, here’s the truth:
They probably use Smoothwall for youth.

Its terrible

Terrible, just terrible. I know this is my second review but oh my god.. I searched up "is there a bird called auggie" and got smoothwalled!!!!!!! another time i searched up kkkkkkk and got smoothwalled for "adult content".... what,

absolutely disgraceful! im a student in a comprehensive school in south wales and they have put smoothwall on my chromebook and i cant even type stuff up anymore because it puts blocked i haven't been able to search stuff up for school work on my chromebook for ages and im getting into trouble all the time because im not doing the work ive been asked to do because of smoothwall.

smoothwall is so bad that I would rather count every blade of grass on earth and kill every insect on earth with a piece of paper than use this stupid thing. I have to type this on a alt account otherwise smoothwall blocks this.
smoothwall also invades my privacy so I have to remove smoothwalls permission to access websites

Dear Smoothwall


Hello

Badbye 🥱🥱🤫🧏

blocks every thing i cant play coolmathgames or neal.fun i cant even play the google dino game

so trash 1 star

I have had the displeasure of using this service for a good while, for a word yes I am heavily biased and annoyed. The thing is crap, If I want to search something about South Africa, nope. Anything, nope. Why schools use this service I understand, but surely there are better alternatives

the filtering on smoothwall is so bad i genuinely don't think i have anything positive to say about this blocking software, it literally blocked/flagged a misspelling of "deez bananas" as something extremely bad, like as in it could get the police involved since I'm a minor and it's literally illegal what smooth all flagged what I typed as, I just feel like this isn't a good software to install on your chromebook/laptop/computer.

so glad i cant do my school work as everything is blocked and now my teachers getting angry because of you smoothwall ruins everything cant even learn in school now thanks

Smoothwall wall is so trash i hate it and it blocks everything it even block stuff if i havt even clicked on a website anyways i have 20 million power in rise of kingdoms and now its time for todays sponser raid shadow legends this epic rpg makes you want to SELF DESTRUCT ONCE YOU INSTALL IT IT CAN SUCK THE GARBAGE WITH SMOOTWALL IN THE SAME ALLEY WHERE I SENT THE CHILDREN I STOLE FROM THE ORPHANAGE

This browser blocks literally everything, why do people even use this?

i knew it was bad when i typed does smoothwall block everything and it got blocked

literally blocked stuff for "education content" on everyones soul it said that man and it blocked all the resources i need for my course work like brianmac and other stuff. so random and useless. furthermore it doesnt block anything when i search suggestive of NSFW things on google images. nice one smoothwall

Ahhhhhhh Smoothwall please!!! I don’t want to be in this basement anymore! Smoothwall is great and everyone should use it! Heellllllp me…

It basically blocks all non-popular websites, even if they are included in the Cloudflare radar and have labels such as "education" and "technology". It also scans the URL to check if it contains any suspicious content, which is very extensive. It blocks many useful academic journals, DuckDuckGo and Qoura, as well as a large number of web service platforms such as OVHCloud control panel and some wiki sites. This policy basically prevents me from using the school network or my account for any academic research, and I cannot work on my personal projects, which are crucial to our future development.

quite literally blocked oxford dictionary website, like i beg your finest pardon? please tell me why oxford dictionary is getting blocked!! im trying to do my gcses i can not believe this tom foolery!
