Manage Trusted Networks

 

  • Click 'Configuration' > 'Configuration' > 'Locations' to open the trusted networks interface
    • After Connect your Network to Comodo Secure Web Gateway, the next step is to add a 'Trusted Network'. SWG will not function correctly until you have done so.
    • The default security and URL filtering policies are applied to all endpoints in trusted networks.
      • You can also create network-specific policies.
      • Policies are prioritized top-to-bottom according to the list in 'Configuration' > 'Policy'.
      • In the event of a conflict between policies over a security setting, the setting in the policy nearer the top of the list will prevail.
      • You can change the priority of a policy by clicking 'Edit' > 'Policy Order' in the 'Configuration' > 'Policy' interface. See 'Apply Policies to Network' section for more details.
      • This section explains how to add and manage networks in the 'Locations (Trusted Networks)' interface.
      Note - You must have added some users before you can apply policies to users. See 'User Management' and 'Apply Policies to Network' for more details.
