They require http headers to youtube.com to be rewritten to include an authentication string at the proxy level, and they will never send "normal" youtube content to when that string is included, unless you're logged in as an approved user. Is there a way to rewrite http headers at all with the astaro? How about URL rewriting rules? (see option B below)
Here's the instructions from Youtube:
Choose one of the following two options, depending on which works for your school's network:
Option A: Add new HTTP header rule
Please modify your hardware filter or proxy server settings so that all outgoing traffic to youtube.com contains the following custom HTTP header. The ID to use in the HTTP header configuration, written below, is unique to your school's network only. If your school is blocked at the district level, this HTTP header is then unique to the district network.
X-YouTube-Edu-Filter:
Option B: Create URL parameter rewrite rule
If your firewall or filter does not support HTTP header modification, please rewrite all outgoing URLs to youtube.com by appending the parameter “edufilter” at the end.
Example:
http://youtube.com/?edufilter=
youtube.com/watch
Exclude the &edufilter parameter from these file types: .css, .gif, .png, .js, .xml
TIA,
Adam
