Summary
Smoothwall Cloud Filter can be installed manually on unmanaged or otherwise 'non-domain' devices. This is only recommended for evaluation purposes as it cannot enforce the necessary restrictions to prevent user from circumventing the filter.

- Your Unified Client Serial Number (without spaces), which you will have received in your onboarding email from Support.
