Cato Client - manual PoP addressing
Has anyone tried scripting to change the manual pop location so the user can run the script and it will change their client manual pop address to a specific location. Not sure where this detail is stored on windows for the client, regkey or config file? Even a cato cli client with a switch to set it? I tried using fqdns as the pop name and having it resolve to a PoP IP in the hosts file, then using a script to change the hosts file entry to the desired PoP IP.... but the client cant use fqdns as the PoP to connect to :D
Are Clients connecting to PoPs in China and Vietnam still limited to 20Mbps maximum throughput?
Cato KB "Supported Throughput for Cato SDP Clients" states that remote client users connecting to PoPs in China and Vietnam are limited to 20Mbps maximum throughput. Is this still the case? If so, why? Are there plans for this restriction to be lifted in the roadmap? This is a recurring question for customers with distributed footprint across China and Vietnam.
Always on VPN and troubleshooting connectivity issues
Hi, I wanted to check if anyone else have experienced issues with the users enabled for Always On when their SDP client can not connect. Ocasionaly we see clients can not connect showing different errors, like username not recognized, can not connect, etc. The problem is that our Zoho Assist remote management software is not available if the user laptop is not connected to Internet which it is not when using Always On. How do you guys provide support in this scenario? What we usually do is first disable Always on policy for that user and then re-install the CAto client using either local admin or service desk user account. The problem is that we need to change the passwords to those accounts after giving out to the user by phone. Basically we just need Zoho Assist client traffic to bypass Cato tunnel, we will be testing split tunnel feature and adding Zoho IPs to bypass. Curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Cato Deployment Scenario
I am trying to find a documentation in the Cato portal regarding different methods of deployment and their drawbacks. For example, if I want to setup X1500 sockets in two separate buildings and achieve HA what are the pluses and minuses of this setup. In case of loss of connectivity between buildings how do each socket operate now they are no longer in pair. These are the information I want to find in the portal but not having any luck.Azure S2S to Cato Routing
Hi We have an existing site to site vpn to Azure Gateway which then has a vnet to vnet connection to an Azure Gateway in another region. In that region, that vnet gateway is on a vnet with a peering to the Cato vnet. How do i get Cato to be able to see the site to site subnet? The last vnet before the cato peering is able to see the site to site subnet.
Clients get Cato cloud DHCP leases on the wrong subnet range vlan
Looking for a solution to our wireless clients getting DHCP leases on the wrong subnet / range / vlan. Some of our clients getting Cato cloud DHCP leases on the same subnet as the access points on trunk native VLAN. VLAN is native VLAN on truk between access points and switches.
Cato and UPnP (hole punching)
We are a new Cato customer and are part way through deploying sockets to our sites. We have discovered an issue with an application which users UPnP. The application (https://parsec.app) typically has an app installed on a device, such as a desktop PC, behind the socket. This is known as the "host". Then the app is also installed on a personal device, outside the network, known as the "client". These should negotiate a peer-to-peer connection using UPnP, but this is not working when the socket is in place. A remote user is not able to connect to their office PC. It worked previously with our previous firewall. And if a remote users has the Cato client installed and running, they are able to connect. It seems like the Cato socket does not support, or is blocking UPnP. Can anyone at Cato confirm if UPnP is supported, and/or offer some advice? Thanks.
