# Allowing Netflix Through SecureSchool

## 📖 Overview

Netflix requires access to several domains and streaming services that may be restricted by SecureSchool’s filtering and anti-proxy protections.

To allow Netflix to function properly, you will need to:

- Adjust specific filtering settings
- Add required Netflix domains to the allow list
- Apply authentication exceptions
- Restart services to apply changes

## ⚙️ Step 1 – Adjust Filtering & Anti-Proxy Settings

Go to the following sections and update settings **for the filter sets where Netflix should be allowed**:

🔹 Task Center → Anti-Proxy Center

- Select the appropriate **Filter Set(s)** at the top
- Uncheck **Block IP Addresses**
- Click **Save Settings**

🔹 Task Center → Anti-File Sharing

- Select the appropriate **Filter Set(s)**
- Uncheck **Block IP Addresses**
- Click **Save Settings**

🔹 Task Center → Anti-Streaming Media Center

- Select the appropriate **Filter Set(s)**
- Uncheck **Block Streaming MIME Types**

🔹 Website Filtering → Filter Setup

- Select the appropriate **Filter Set(s)** from the dropdown at the top of the page
- Uncheck **Block IP Addresses**

## 🌐 Step 2 – Add Netflix Domains

Go to:
 **Website Filtering → Website Access → Add a Site**

Copy and paste the following domains **all at once** into the Website Addresses field:

```
netflix.com
nflxext.com
nflximg.net
nflximg.com
nflxsearch.net
nflxso.net
nflxvideo.net
```

Then configure the following:

- **Reason for Change:** Example: *Allow access to Netflix*
- **Filtering:** Select **Unfiltered**
- **Port Access:** Leave default (**Add Port Access Rules**)
- **Filter Sets:** Select the appropriate groups (for example: Students, Staff, etc.)

Click **Submit**.

## 🔐 Step 3 – Add Authentication Exceptions

Go to:
 **Website Filtering → Authentication Exceptions → Add a Website**

- **Website Address:** nflximg.com
   **Reason:** Allow Netflix

Repeat for:

- nflximg.net

## 🔄 Step 4 – Apply Changes

- Click **Commit Changes**
- Restart services and filter sets when prompted

## ⚠️ Common Issues & Troubleshooting

🔸 Filter Set Mismatch

Make sure all changes were applied to the **correct filter set(s)** (for example: Students vs. Staff vs. Admins).

**👉 This is the most common issue.**

🔸 “Block IP Addresses” Still Enabled

If this setting is still checked anywhere, Netflix traffic may bypass domain rules and still be blocked.

Double-check this setting in:

- Filter Setup
- Anti-Proxy Center
- Anti-File Sharing

🔸 Authentication Not Bypassed

If users are required to authenticate, Netflix images or content may fail to load.

Confirm these are added under **Authentication Exceptions**:

- nflximg.com
- nflximg.net

🔸 Changes Not Applied

- Click **Commit Changes**
- Restart services
