Forcepoint URL Filtering deployment diagram

The illustration below shows components distributed across multiple servers in a typical deployment.

All of the enforcement components, except for the optional transparent identification agents, may reside on a Windows or Linux server, or a Forcepoint appliance.

For evaluation or very small (low traffic) deployments, all components, plus an instance of SQL Server Express (installed by the Forcepoint Security Installer, in certain cases) may reside on a single Windows server.
