Fixed

  • Fixed a bug allowing users to log in with the previous user's cached Google credentials at the single sign-on (SSO) screen.

  • For GoGuardian Admin Website URLs and Website Categories, the proxy is now enforced only on HTML responses. This reduces excessive blocks, latency, and the frequency of manually exempting websites.
