Internet Block

To implement internet blocking, an Access Control List (ACL) can be configured for users logging in from a Mac endpoint. As a result, once the user logs in, they will be unable to access the internet unless connected to the Gateway.

A list of local and/or internet IP addresses or subnets can be specified to bypass the Block Internet policy.

Internet Block Configuration

Steps to create an Internet block ACL

  1. Log in to the Management Console

  2. Navigate to Policies > ACL.

  3. Create an Endpoint Protection Access Control Type ACL for users with Internet block.

  4. Upon creating an ACL (Access Control List) for blocking internet access, any user added to this list will not be able to access the internet upon logging into the client.

  5. To allow internet access for specific exception websites, the administrator needs to add the corresponding IP addresses or hostnames to a bypass list.

    • Steps to add Internet bypass list in the Client Profile:

      • Navigate to Policies > Client Profiles.

      • Select the Default configuration and click Modify.

      • Navigate to Profile Configurations, enable the bypass list, and enter the hostnames and IP addresses.

Following these steps will ensure that only specified websites can be accessed while all other internet access remains blocked.
