Step 10: Install Content Gateway

If you are not using appliances to host policy enforcement components, complete these steps to install Content Gateway on one or more Linux servers.

Note:

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.com

A constant access to these domains is recommended as various product services, including (but not limited to) URL database, AV definitions, and licensing need the open connection with Forcepoint for the purpose of maintenance, update or validation.

DNS queries can narrow down the relevant servers for your location. Prolonged period of more than two weeks without connectivity may result in license invalidation and policy enforcement will no longer occur.
