You can now add a multiple locations in SecureEdge and define location-based policies. A location is a physical Site that is connected to the Barracuda SecureEdge network. It can be a branch office, a data center, or a cloud service. Locations added in SecureEdge can be used within Web Filter policies.
The key features of Location settings are:
Locations are either static or dynamic:
A Static Location consists of one or more IP addresses or IP addresses in CIDR notation, or a mix of both.
A Dynamic Location is a single IP. The Dynamic Location require you to install the Helper application on your device.
You can modify a location from static to dynamic, and vice-versa. The value will be cleared when the type is changed.
When creating a static location, only valid public IP addresses or networks are allowed. Note: You cannot create a static location using a private IP address.
You can configure DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
