Forcepoint Web Security Proxy Connect Endpoint

Steps

  1. If you selected Proxy Connect Endpoint on the Select Forcepoint One Endpoint Components screen, the Proxy Settings screen is shown after the Installation Path and Firefox Settings screen:

    Specify the URL for your organization’s PAC file. Replace the default URL with the customized URL for your deployment.

    1. Hybrid deployments

      For hybrid deployments, the URL can be found on the Settings > HybridConfiguration > User Access page in the Web Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager.

      Select the URL appropriate for your environment (either port 8082 or port 80). For example:

      Default (port 8082): http://pac.hybridweb. global.blackspider.com:8082/proxy.pac?p=8h6hxmgf Alternate (port 80): http://pac.hybridweb. global.blackspider.com/proxy.pac?p=8h6hxmgf

      In this example, 8h6hxmgf is a unique identifier for an organization. Your identifier is different and defines your organization.

      Note the difference between the sub-domains of the default PAC file URL and the sample customized URL. The “hybrid-web” sub-domain is used for onpremises Forcepoint Web Security deployments that use Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint.

    2. Full cloud deployments
      For full cloud deployments, the “webdefence” sub-domain is used. For example, a policy-specific PAC file URL looks something like this:

      Default (port 8082): http:// webdefence.global.blackspider.com:8082/ proxy.pac?p=8h6hxmgf Alternate (port 80): http:// webdefence.global.blackspider.com/proxy.pac?p=8h6hxmgf

      In this example, 8h6hxmgf is a unique identifier for an organization. Your identifier is different and defines your organization.

      You can find policy-specific URLs for your cloud deployment on the General tab of a policy in the Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway Portal. If you would rather use an account-level PAC file, go to the Web > General page to find the PAC file URL.

  2. Select Allow users to disable endpoints if you want to allow users to disable the Forcepoint Web Security Proxy Connect Endpoint web protection on their own endpoint machines; for example, if you want them to edit local proxy settings. Be aware that selecting this option allows users to circumvent the protections offered by the Forcepoint Web Security Proxy Connect Endpoint software.
  3. Click Next.
    • If you are only creating a Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint package, the Save Installation Package screen is shown next. Continue with Global settings.
    • If you are creating a package with another agent, continue with the relevant section.
