Hi ZeeshanIshkay

 

Ping works with Netskope. Tunnels (GRE / IPSEC) are required. 

 

Below are the guidelines for configuration. I am connected to Netskope via GRE tunnels using a Cloud Security Connector of Maidenhead Bridge.

 

1) Create "Firewall App" - See file 01-ns-community-fw.png attached. 

2) Create "Real-time protection" -> Firewall Policy . See file 02-ns-community-fw.png attached.

 

Note 1: I prefer to place the Firewall Rules at the bottom because, in general, most of the traffic will hit web rules above and also for simplicity.

Note 2: My default action is to block Non-WebTraffic. For this reason, I need to create a specific firewall app and rule for all non-web ports/protocols I want to allow. 

 

Firewall is a very nice functionally and works very well. 

 

Enjoy firewalling.

 

Best regards,
