Apply default policy to all users
STEP 1
1.1 Configure the default user which will be named according to the site name.

STEP 2
2.1 Configure the default blocking policy in Protect Console>Policies.
STEP 3
3.1 Use the token ID for the default User (Created in Step 1), in the Protect Agent cfg.properties file.
STEP 4
4.1 Restart the Protect Agent service.
Operating System | Command |
Linux restart | sudo systemctl restart p8dns.service |
Windows restart | open service.msc - right click on p8dns.service and click restart |
Scenario B
Allowing access to everything for certain users and applying default policies to the rest of the LAN users.
STEP 1
1.1 Configure the default user which will be named according to the site name.
- Make sure the policy is set to the default policy.
