If you don't set an answerdate, the question and solution will be invisible after the duedate.

I don't think you can lock the exam again after a proctor initially unlocked it.

As far as I know, proctors are set up on a folder level, just like the time-limit.

No. Note that some networks change client IPs dynamically in mid-session.

You can often find a more specific range of IPs for a particular room. The mechanism allows for something like 35.8.42.12-36
