user bypass account for filtering - or similar
-
We use DNS-based DNSfilter.com for our DNS filtering. All users get the same base policy. We also block outbound port 53 for everyone, except our servers.
With our previous firewalls, SonicWALL NSA series firewalls, we were able to create a local login account that specified different content filtering policies to those users.
'm thinking about some sort of option that applies different DNS policies (different DNS servers) to different users who login with local credentials. Is there any way to do something like this? Even a bolt-on product would do.
The question behind the question is that our teachers need to get to some sites we have blocked (via DNS) for our students.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Not easily. That is usually accomplished by having staff and student VLANs where you can apply different firewall rules to the traffic. So if it's wifi for example you can have a separate ssid with 802.1x authentication that only staff can connect to.
