Block VPN's from being used on a network SSID

Hello,

Noob hear so please be gentle 🙂

I have 4 SSID's and one is used by children (up to age of 17). This one needs to be as secure as possible and has been till now. I have confirmed that some people are running VPN's on their laptops and bypassing our policies.

Is it possible to prevent VPN's being used on SSID XXXXXX to get around security? I have tested on a laptop I purchased and used a free VPN and it is not restricted at all. Turn off the VPN and it's restricted.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi @Steve-ELC, do you have a Meraki MX on your network and with it the Advanced security license?  You could enable content filtering (Proxy avoidance and Anonymizers) and definitely enable Safe Search.

 

I would also look at Cisco Umbrella SIG

 

And if you’re dealing with children also look at Securly. I deal with a ton of schools and they rave about this one.
