Network
The Network section of the Skyhigh Client Policy includes rules to forward Layer 3/IP traffic to Private Access and internet access destinations via respective gateways. The transmission is done over a WireGuard tunnel setup between Skyhigh Client and the SSE Cloud.
When the Client intercepts IP traffic, it follows a specific evaluation hierarchy:
- First, it checks the Bypass and Block sections. If a rule is triggered, the action is executed immediately: Bypass allows direct transmission, whereas Block stops the IP traffic at the endpoint.
- If no rules are triggered, the Network section is evaluated to determine where to forward the traffic.
- Finally, any traffic that does not match a Network rule is handled according to the default action configured by the admin.
To configure a Network ruleset:
- Navigate to Policy > Skyhigh Client > Policy.
- Under the policy, select Network ruleset.
The Network rules appear.

- In the Preset Rules section, configure the required rules.
The following are the Preset Rules and their function:- Forward Private Access Traffic to Cloud Firewall. Forwards Private Access traffic to the Cloud Firewall.
- Forward Internet Bound Web Traffic to Cloud Firewall. Forwards internet-bound web traffic to the Cloud Firewall
TIP: Configure criteria to limit the scope of this ruleset.
