Point of Presence locations
Point of Presence (data center or local PoP) IP addresses for Forcepoint’s GRE service are listed in the article IP addresses for GRE connectivity in the Forcepoint Knowledge Base.
To decide which points of presence are best for your environment, consider:
- Which points of presence are nearest
- Any geographical or data sovereignty concerns around where users browse or where their reporting data is stored.Note:
Cross-point of presence failover can change an end user’s browsing experience. For example, some sites may change localization or presentation between a UK PoP and a German PoP (for example, www.google.co.uk might automatically redirect to www.google.de or www.google.nl, depending on which points of presence users’ traffic is directed though).
Bear in mind that point of presence failover should be an exceptional occurrence, so this behavior might be acceptable in emergency circumstances.
Use the Cloud Service Status option provided in the banner of the Cloud Security Gateway Portal for tunnel system status. You must first subscribe to the physical data center connected to the Points of Presence configured on the page of the portal.
