I know a family who has been in Turkey since November that as of today still logs in. Kids adjusted quit well to the time difference.

So what. Use a VPN, silly.

No. But the time difference will murder that plan.

Because people travel?

Because it’s all virtual anyway?

We spent two months in Colorado.
A friend of mine doing 6 months in Hawaii (he’s in SF schools).
One is in Mexico doing it from there.
One in Florida on a barrier island.

There’s no reason to be stuck in DC if you aren’t even going to school and isolate anyway.

Why are there DCPS students abroad?

Baltimore hospital tattle tale mom S@CKS. Sorry pp.

You can just use a good VPN and you're into Canvas.

You can see VPN connections from outside the country.

Any pUblic VPN service will allow users to access their service through a VPN server anywhere in the world so that the IP address that the Web server (DCPS Canvas in this case) sees on the incoming traffic is from wherever the user wants. This is how people watch US TV when traveling abroad.

+1 that’s exactly the point of one.

Poster saying they can “see” where the true connection is going to is full of it

Can someone post content of email? I did not get it.

No you can’t, that’s the entire point.

You connect to a computer in the Us. That computer connects to DCPS.

At my org, we see them. We constantly monitor them. We block them. But ok.

We use VPN w/ proxy. To watch TV but I guess to also log into DCPS.

I mean really, if my kids miss the dismal DCPS online experience for a few months they will be just fine.

I get cyber purposely keeps people in the dark about threats but come on people... pandemic, vaccines, new president.

I’ve never met an IT professional who would say « I work in cyber. » Anybody with even consumer level IT skills knows that a VPN will allow you to log in from wherever in the world you want.
