Connect your Roaming Devices to Comodo Secure Web Gateway
- Click 'Administration' > 'Traffic Forwarding' > 'SWG Agent Configuration'
Comodo SWG can protect roaming users who are outside a fixed network. This is especially useful for users on the move like field sales teams. It is also useful for remote workers who access the internet from outside your network.
- You must install the roaming agent on a device
to connect it to SWG protection. This is because the device will
use dynamic IP addresses.
- Once installed, any policies defined for 'Roaming users' will be applied to the device. If none are defined then the default 'Global Policy' is applied.
- Click 'Administration' > 'Traffic Forwarding' > 'SWG Agent Configuration' to download and configure the agent:
- Protect Hosts File - Determines whether a user can access non-public, internal domains.
- For example, if you have added an internal domain to the 'Hosts' file, then 'SWG' proxy cannot resolve it since it is not available publicly.
- The default setting is 'No'. If you select 'Yes', the internal domain will be accessible to the user. A direct connection is established between the internal domain and the remote device.
- Note – you can achieve the same result by configuring the PAC file or the proxy setting on the device's internet browser.
- Uninstall Password - he password required to uninstall the SWG agent from the roaming device.
- Configure PAC file -A proxy auto-config (PAC) file determines which proxy servers a browser or client should use to access a given URL. You can customize the PAC file according to your requirement. See 'Configure PAC File' if you want more help with this section.
- Click 'Save' to apply the settings to the agent.
