Benefits

Using GRE to forward traffic to the cloud service can provide a number of benefits. These include:

• Easy to configure
• Connection to two Forcepoint points of presence for redundancy
• No need to install endpoint software on client machines or deploy browser configuration PAC files through Group Policy Objects - ideal for BYOD or guest networks.
• Your network’s internal IP addresses are available to the cloud service, so:
  • Policies can be created based on internal IP addresses or address ranges
  • Authentication bypass can be set based on IP addresses or address ranges
  • Reports can be created using internal IP addresses to identify individual users.
