Hi All,

Does anyone know what websites need to be whitelisted in a web filtering system to allow Scratch Online to work? I have whitelisted scratch.mit.edu but staff & pupils still appear to be having problems.

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Try seeing if you can set the whitelist to something like *.scratch.mit.edu so that all of the other Scratch domains will work correctly since I know there's quite a few domains that they use under the main scratch.mit.edu domain.

Hi CatsUnited

Thanks for the response much appreciated. I really should have specified that I have added it into our Smoothwall filtering system so the entire scratch.mit.edu domain is unblocked, sorry.

Does it try to go to any other websites I may be missing? I have monitored Smoothwall whilst a user is on Scratch and there is nothing Scratch related that I can see which is blocked unless it uses a weird and wonderful URL.

That should be good enough
