Bypass
When the default client policy is applied to a web request, the Bypass rule set processes the request initially. When the bypass ruleset is matched for a given traffic, all further rule processing stops only if there is a rule (Custom or Preset) that matches the incoming intercepted traffic.
To bypass a client-server:
- Navigate to Policy > Skyhigh Client > Policy.
- Under the policy, select Bypass ruleset.
The Bypass rules appear.

- In the Preset Rules section, configure the required Bypass rules.
The following are the rules and their function:- Bypass Domains. Traffic to domains in this list is sent directly to the destination without being intercepted by Skyhigh Client.
- Bypass Destination IPs. Traffic to IP addresses in this list is sent directly to the destination without being intercepted by Skyhigh Client.
- Bypass Ports. Traffic to ports in this list is sent directly to the destination without being intercepted by Skyhigh Client.
- Bypass Processes. Traffic from processes in this list is sent directly to the destination without being intercepted by Skyhigh Client.
- Bypass All Local Traffic. Traffic from local subnets is sent directly without being intercepted by Skyhigh Client.
- Bypass Windows Core Generated Traffic. The Skyhigh Client bypasses traffic from OS Core components.
- Bypass Traffic When Client is On-Premises or Connected via VPN. The Skyhigh Client bypasses traffic from endpoints when connected to the corporate network directly or via vpn.
