Skyhigh Security

Prerequisite for Cloud Firewall

Points to Remember
  • Allow the required domains and HTTP(S) ports on any upstream firewall.
  • By default, the system uses the first network interface (eth0) for IP address allocation and subsequent Cloud Firewall traffic.
  • If DNS auto-registration is enabled on the VMware host, add an additional DNS entry with the desired hostname instead of modifying the default one.
  • Ensure that the CPU used for TCP and UDP deployments supports the Intel ADX instruction set.

NOTE:

 UDP support has been validated for DNS, ECHO, NTP, HTTP/3, and RDP over UDP protocols.

Firewall Settings

NOTE: Whitelist or allow all required hosts and domains listed in the firewall configuration table on the outbound proxy.
