![]() The thought that someone is configuring proxies across an entire campus when they could achieve the exact same thing by simply inserting a single line into a gateways iptables chain is, frankly, insane. It's not like someone is going to be jacking off to porn in a VR headset in the middle of your lecture hall, right?įrom a network administration perspective, manually configuring proxies is an antiquated practice that died in the 90s when the world moved on to centrally managing these things within our layer3 appliances. Of course, you can avoid this very simple amount of minimal network segmentation by simply whitelisting all the headsets in your various network appliances to allow them to communicate around the filter. So, why haven't you just sniffed the wire already? It almost certainly would have reduced the scope of your problem a great deal. But that then makes me wonder why you've not done the exact thing yourself, as an 'IT Executive' you could have done this and identified what it blocking the quest from expected behaviour in less time than it took to post this thread. As an IT professional yourself, I don't need to expound on the loathing of user interactions we all carry. I have no idea why that is not the first thing they did when you let them know you need them to work in your lab? This is basic stuff, and any IT person would do that first, as it solves the problem without even having to bother communicating with their user, being you in this case. It's like 5 minutes of time for anybody even half qualified for the job, then they have to allow those outgoing connections. Of course, your IT Department can hook a quest up to the network and see exactly what it is trying to connect to with no effort. Then that filter policy for that VLAN MUST allow full unrestricted access to Facebook. Then, if you really must filter access to the quests, feed the VLAN to a dedicated gateway configured for transparent redirection, so there is no need to configure a proxy within the devices as the network will just forward all traffic there transparently. Second point, a filtering proxy server is only good for http(s) connections, you require more outgoing protocol support than just TCP 80/443 stuff.Ī correct solution, is to place your VR lab's eth drops and switch on it's own VLAN. You need completely open, unrestricted Facebook access on your network segment, as a start. Do you know if your filter blocks Facebook? If so, Facebook access is required, the device connects to Facebook's api graph for basically all of its functions. This is not a VR problem, it's a network configuration problem.įew points, first. Knowing anything about VR, is completely irrelevant here, for a start. ![]() I mean no disrespect, but this is not difficult. I have to question the competency of this 'IT Department'Īlso, as an 'Executive of IT', you sound somewhat lacking in basic skills yourself, to be asking these questions. If anyone has encountered a similar issue, please reach out! Do also let me know if you need more context, I'll add post edits with the remaining info. On opening the advanced settings and feeding all the information for a manual proxy, the "Connect" button remains greyed out and I cannot for the life of me figure out why that is. That is to say, when I enter the wifi password and connect, I get the status "Connected, No Internet" which makes sense since the proxy is not configured. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately on the quest device I am working on, Settings->Wifi-> Advanced settings - is not working. I am an Executive of Technology at a University and our wifi is supplied by the IT department and apparently uses a lot of sophisticated software (sophos, urghh no netflix □ ) to make sure the network does not get abused.Īs a result, for connecting to our wifi with laptops, we put in a manual proxy and are able to access the net.
