Not good

Me and my friend were eating lunch and he began chocking on his food. we were in the library on the computers so in a panic I looked up what to do. smooth wall blocked my search and my friend died in my arms as my mournful tears rained down on his cold, lifeless face as I wept for his life.

the people who made smoothwall really are the most miserable, joyless, soul sucking, boring, depressing people to ever set foot on this miserable earth.

Just an example for how bad this is

Just an example for how bad this is - On google classroom there was a popup about teacher appreciation week - press learn more and it was blocked. Your extension is s***, and you make my life as an Anthropology and Global Politics student a living hell.

Why why why does this EXIST!!!

I just can’t express with words how absolutely horrible this application is. I think most people would agree, because it has been HACKED by students about 35 times this year.

Just now I was trying to listen to some music, but the service I clicked on was BANNED BY SMOOTHWALL.

So now I can’t even do my homework because the link we were given is blocked by SMOOTHWALL.

I just can’t believe what problems this is causing: about 35% of the people in my school can’t connect to the Wi-Fi network because SMOOTHWALL only lets you connect with networks that have a “security” of “wpa2/wpa3. So almost half of the students can’t even do the schoolwork because of this terrible app.

In conclusion, I don’t know why this was invented, and if you want a firewall for your students, use something like bichute instead. I just can’t believe this exists…

smoothwall is a nuisance to society.

picture this. Your name is Harold Jimmy. Made up name I thought up from the top of my head, you are a 9 year old and you are working on homework because your teacher considers you a war criminal because you couldn't write pneumoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis in cursive. You wanted to go to YouTube to find the tutorial video that your teacher assigned you with, and that eye murdering teal color pops up because its considered "provocative content" to search up the letter W. You are distraught, plus you get a Z- on your work and your parents send you to Turkey where you get a vase put over your head every 0.1 second by a man named globgorb. This is what every child has to go through with the smoothwall extension. Help us.

I wrote a rap to show you how bad this…

I wrote a rap to show you how bad this software is.

Smooth Wall, the blocker of all, ain't playin' fair,
Lockin' down the net, it's like we're in a snare.
Educational sites? Nah, they ain't spared,
Smooth Wall's grip tight, like we're all ensnared.

Forced into a room, made smooth, what a plight,
Ain't nobody likin' this forced smooth flight.
Education on lockdown, knowledge in chains,
Smooth Wall's grip tighter than iron reins.

(Chorus)
Smooth Wall shitter, blockin' all in sight,
Even education, it ain't right.
Forced into smoothness, a digital plight,
Smooth Wall shitter, keepin' us in the night.

Kids tryna learn, but Smooth Wall's the gate,
Blockin' every site, like it's fueled by hate.
No research allowed, no learnin' today,
Smooth Wall's the warden, in this digital fray.

One person said it made 'em smooth, like a crime,
Forced into submission, wasting precious time.
No room for growth, in this smooth regime,
Smooth Wall's grip tighter than a bad dream.

(Chorus)
Smooth Wall shitter, blockin' all in sight,
Even education, it ain't right.
Forced into smoothness, a digital plight,
Smooth Wall shitter, keepin' us in the night.

But we won't stand for it, won't bow to its rule,
Gonna break free from this digital fool.
Educational freedom, we demand,
Smooth Wall's reign of smoothness, gotta be banned.

(Chorus)
Smooth Wall shitter, blockin' all in sight,
Even education, it ain't right.
Forced into smoothness, a digital plight,
Smooth Wall shitter, keepin' us in the night.

So here's to freedom, from Smooth Wall's hold,
No more forced smoothness, no more stories told.
Educational sites, we reclaim our right,
Smooth Wall shitter, we're breakin' into the light

Ineffective&Unnecessary, READ THIS HOPE YOU AGREE

I. Hate. Smoothwall.
Aside from being extremely annoying, Smoothwall Client blocks things that shouldn't be blocked and doesn't block things that should be blocked, and is altogether ineffective. MANY people AND students do NOT like this app and it is automatically installed for every student pretty much everywhere.
I really appreciate you guys supporting the fact that Smoothwall sucks like all heck but the borderline cursing is a little much. Although I believe students shouldn't have access to the full internet, I think this app should be banned or something, or have it get FIXED PLEASE! >:( Please rate my review as useful if you agree with me.

Ok, lets get things staight

Ok, first things first, im writing this on a different account because smoothwall has blocked this website. AGH. NO ONE F-ING likes you SMOOTHWALL

Oh Smoothwall, you're like a sieve that fancied itself as a fortress, so utterly useless that even the zeroes and ones bypass you for a spot of tea with more reliable company. You're the digital embodiment of a chocolate teapot – quite dreadful in your primary function yet ironically leaving us with a bitter taste. You are, without a doubt, the most dreadful thing to grace the binary realm since someone thought 'Internet Explorer' deserved a round two.
