This article applies to organisations with a 'Hybrid' setup (both On-Premise Appliance and Cloud), as well as On-Premise only and Cloud only setups.
You can use Location objects in the Where part of policies, such as:
- Web Filter Policies to apply the policy to certain machines or subnets.
- Web Proxy Authentication Policies to apply different authentication methods to different network locations, on both transparent and non-transparent proxies.
Locations can be:
- A single IP address, for example 192.168.1.1
- A range of IP addresses, for example 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.100
- A subnet in CIDR notation, for example 192.168.1.0/24
- A device hostname, for example pc1-room1.domain.local
