Customers

Created when a customer's first node enrols with a valid WEES Warden licence. Licence details come from the licence server or the nodes' reports.

Nodes

Managed policy

Nodes with cloud.managed_policy: true take the most specific policy: their own, else their customer's, else global. Network, AD and listener settings always stay on the node. Every publish is a new version; roll back from the history.

This policy also has per-tenant sections. They're kept as they are; edit them in Advanced.

Groups

Who gets which policy, the same on site, on cloud nodes and for roaming laptops. Add security groups, users, device names (wildcards like IT-*), IP addresses or networks, and VLANs: matching any of them puts someone in the group. Works with or without Active Directory: without it, use device names, IP addresses and VLANs (and, for roaming laptops, the computer's own users and groups). Groups are checked from the top and the first one someone is in decides their policy.

Policies: what each group gets

Someone in no group gets the first policy whose own AD groups, networks or VLANs match, else the default policy below.

Every policy

Download cache

Big downloads (Windows and Office updates, consoles, game stores) come from the internet once, then from the site's own cache. Each site needs a cache server set on its node; nodes without one ignore this.

GB
0 keeps each cache's own size. A cache can use up to 90% of its disk.

What to cache

Public blocklists

Lists maintained by others, the kind pfBlockerNG and Pi-hole use. Each node downloads the ticked lists daily. Tick a list here, then block it in a policy above.

Your own lists

A name and the sites in it, one per line. Each list appears as a category in the policies above.

History

Upload a release
