Check your school’s web filter
Run Hidl on a school device, signed in with a test account set up like the accounts you want to check (for example, like pupils’ accounts). Hidl asks well-known sites for their small icon to see which ones this device can reach. It never opens the pages.
- Under a minute, 26 checks

Before you start
Please tell your DSL before you start. Hidl checks some well-known sites by their small icon and home address: help sites such as Childline, and sites schools usually block, such as adult and gambling sites. Hidl never opens, shows or reads these pages, but your monitoring may log each attempt. Use a test account, never a named person's login, so the attempts are not logged against a named person.
Hidl cannot see who is signed in. Your results show what this device and this account can reach. Every run is checked against the same pupil-safe standard. To compare, run Hidl once with each type of test account your school uses (one set up like pupils' accounts, one set up like staff accounts) and once on the guest Wi-Fi.
