Installing Web Content Gateway
The Web Content Gateway is included with Forcepoint DLP Network. It provides DLP policy enforcement for the web channel, including decryption of SSL traffic, user authentication, and content inspection using the DLP policy engine.
This core Forcepoint DLP component permits the use of custom policies, fingerprinting, and more. It is available as Linux software that does not require Forcepoint Web Security.
Note that Web Content Gateway is inactive until registered with a management server.
Make sure the server hosting the Content Gateway has external connectivity allowed and can reach the domains listed below.
- download.forcepoint.com
- ddsdom.forcepoint.com
- ddsint.forcepoint.com
- download.websense.co
A constant access to these domains is recommended as various product services, including (but not limited to) URL database, AV definitions and licensing, need open connection with Forcepoint for the purpose of maintenance, update or validation. DNS queries can narrow down the relevant servers for your location. Prolonged periods without connectivity of more than two weeks may result in license invalidation and policy enforcement may no longer occur.
