Element K and Firewalls
A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. If your computer is located behind a company firewall, you might not be able to access portions of the Element K Web site from work. Company firewalls sometimes block JavaScript, or won't let you log in to a secure server - which Element K requires.
- If your company's firewall blocks JavaScript, you won't be able to enter the classrooms from your work computer.
- If your company firewall allows JavaScript but doesn't allow access to a secure server, you won't be able to access the classrooms from work.
Check with your system administrator to find out what external sites you can access at your location.
