District Partnership Program
A Free Alternative for Educational Institutions
Server-Side Protection for Educational Institutions
A streamlined solution for school districts seeking to manage student access to Coldnova Network—directly at the source, with guaranteed effectiveness.
Why Server-Side Blocking?
Traditional web filters like Lightspeed, Securly, and GoGuardian constantly struggle to keep up with hundreds of proxy URLs. Our solution eliminates that burden entirely.
Guaranteed Effectiveness
Block access at the server level—no URL lists to update, no cat-and-mouse games with new domains. When blocked, it stays blocked.
Rapid Deployment
Implementation takes anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours. Once activated, all district IP ranges are immediately protected.
Reduce IT Workload
Your network security team no longer needs to manually block hundreds of URLs. We handle it server-side, permanently.
Our Free Alternative
Unlike paid blocking services, our free solution provides server-side IP blocking with built-in compromise options. This allows for flexibility while maintaining control.
How Our Free Alternative Allows for Compromise
Flexible Access Control
Districts can specify which games or content should be accessible, allowing for educational exceptions while blocking entertainment-focused content.
Time-Based Restrictions
Set access windows for specific times of day, allowing controlled access during appropriate periods while maintaining restrictions during class time.
Educational Exceptions
Whitelist specific educational games or applications that align with your curriculum, ensuring students can access approved learning tools.
Custom Redirect Pages
Instead of a hard block, redirect students to your district's learning portal or approved educational resources, turning restrictions into learning opportunities.
How It Works

Important Information
Public IP Address Required
You will be asked to provide your district's public IP address. This is critical. The public IP must be the shared external IP address that all district users connect through. All devices on your network should share this same public IP. Without the correct IP address, server-side blocking cannot be applied to your district.
Service Terms
Coldnova Network reserves the right to discontinue server-side blocking services at any time and for any reason. While we are committed to providing reliable protection, this is a free service provided as-is. We maintain the highest standards of service integrity and understand the responsibility that comes with serving educational environments.
