EU contracts for SAP over Oracle would be so much easier if SAP would wean themselves of US cloud dependency.
is sap that much better as a product?
I'm pretty sure we'd still need to break TLS. Domain-level just isn't granular enough.
I still find that dumb that you even need to do that. Machines especially for schools should be able to have software policies set directly on them to limit such sites.
I don't know how much chromeOS is configurable and if you can e.g. force it to only use specific network and network interface, or if a student can connect it to a different network somehow, because it would be kinda pointless otherwise.
As a sysadmin I also hate this. Instead, I do block stuff based on DNS requests and I also block any other DNS provider as well as malicious IPs.
At this point in time, Microsoft is the bigger enemy here - some of their policies are just insane and none of this MITM will help [0][1]

I work for a school. My traffic is not MITM'd, but the kids' traffic is, because we don't want them using their school-issued laptops to play games or go shopping, and you can't adequately block stuff if it's all encrypted.

Is there any reason to use Office nowadays except for being able to open documents sent by institutions where secretaries still use Word/Excel/PPT? (universities, etc.)
Sharepoint and office is the modern version of cancer. Nobody wants to manage onprem AD and mapped drives because cLoUd is the solution. Doesn't help that Microsoft stopped caring about onprem.
Also make sure to block ads on your mobile as well
