We have found that some standard Moodle functions have been blocked by the eSolutions security firewall.

As a result, you may receive the following error message when trying to perform one of the following tasks:
  • Switch role
  • Submitting HTML containing <iframe> tags (eg embedding a youtube video) or stylesheet links.
  • Course backup
  • Course restore


Through negotiations with eSolutions security team, we have been able to have these restrictions removed if you access HPEO Moodle:
  • On the wired network at Monash in the Medicine precinct.
  • On the Monash wireless network.
  • On the VPN.
Outside the Monash network (eg. off campus, at home, at overseas conferences), you will need to use the Monash VPN to use those functions.
