As a Company Manager, you can configure Web Policies, which control the websites that users can access in Venn and how encrypted app and website traffic is monitored in Venn’s Blue Border™.
Venn has two types of Web Policies that you can implement as a Company Manager:
Web (DNS) Filtering Policy
Your company’s Web Filtering Policy enables you to apply broad limits to the sites that users can access when browsing in Venn at the domain level by intercepting domain name requests (DNS queries). You can block domains by category (e.g., gambling or hate speech) and/or allow or block specific domains.
Your Web Filtering Policies are applied to all user DNS queries in Blue Border. You can set up Web Filtering Policies for the All Users group or for specific user groups with assigned Private Company Gateway IP addresses.
Learn how to view and manage your Web Filtering Policies.
Web Proxy Policy (Blocklist/Allowlist and TLS Inspection)
Your company’s Web Proxy Policy enables you to apply more granular restrictions by controlling which websites or IP addresses can be accessed in browsers running in Venn and configuring which processes and domains have TLS Inspection enforced.
- Web Control (Blocklist/Allowlist): You can block specific URLs or IP addresses or you can even block all web traffic by default and implement an allowlist to enable access only to specific URLs or IP addresses.
- TSL Inspection: By default, Venn enforces TLS inspection for specific processes managed by Venn, including web browsers and Microsoft 365 applications. This allows Venn to enforce DLP Policies such as account controls and upload restrictions. You can determine which additional processes have TLS inspection enforced and determine which domains are excluded from inspection.
Your Web Proxy Policy relies on the local web proxy that Venn runs on users’ devices. Learn more about the Blue Border web proxy.
Web Proxy Policies are configured for individual users, the All Users group, or for specific user groups in Venn.
