Network Configuration

This article describes how every account administrator or manager can modify the following network settings:

1. Automatic Wi-Fi Security

   Proactively protects your team members - whether they are traveling for business or working from a local cafe - from dangerous public Wi-Fi threats. Logging into unsecured public Wi-Fi hotspots can be dangerous for employees, resulting in the theft of private business data and compliance violations. This will automatically activate a VPN connection on unsecured networks as well as enable access to your company's internal resources.

2. Trusted Wi-Fi Networks

   Specify Trusted Wi-Fi networks according to specific SSIDs. These Wi-Fi networks will not trigger our Automatic Wi-Fi Security feature. Applies to Mac and Windows only.

3. Trusted Wired Networks

   Specify Trusted Networks according to specific MAC address of the router. These networks will not trigger our Automatic Wi-Fi Security feature or Always on VPN. Applies to Mac and Windows only.

4. Always-on VPN

   Always-on VPN ensures if your VPN connection is broken, your internet connection will be cut until the VPN connection is successful.

5. Kill Switch

   This instantly kills the Internet connection should the VPN disconnect, protecting data from temporary exposure.
