    imsrj.cse, So I imagine you are running the course so that students work through the reading and practice on their own time and your ILT meetings are focused on the labs. In that learning environment I'd suggest taking some time at the start of the day and after lunch to introduce topics...

    Products like Trend Micro allow an admin to define a forward proxy as a gateway device and send web URLs to the cloud for filtering. There are more reverse proxy products and services that are deployed in front of servers for load balancing and offloading TLS termination from servers.
