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!
Auto disabling of "Secured Private Access" when user in office
In Cato, there is "Cato Connectivity Policy" wherein we can either allow "Allow Internet" or "Allow WAN and Internet" or "Block". We have MPLS in our offices and we wants to have only SWG i.e "Allow Internet" when user is in office so that internal applications go through MPLS and only internet traffic goes through Cato but when same user goes out of office than automatically both Internet and WAN traffic should go through the Cato. We had similar arrangement when we were with Netskope. In Netskope, there is a feature called “Enabling Dynamic Steering” [Refer https://docs.netskope.com/en/enabling-dynamic-steering/] wherein we could decide if users is “On-Premise” then what all traffic needs to be steered to Netskope and whether Private access needs to be enabled or not or only internet traffic is need to be steered. Can this be achieved in similar fashion ?
Connectivity Alert Email - Interface Names
Hello, By default, the notification emails regarding a disconnected or degraded socket interface include the public IP address of the interface under "Interface Name". This does not match the port name in the socket configuration panel. Is it possible to modify this email template to include the descriptive name instead of, or ideally in addition to, the public IP address? This would be extremely helpful for quickly identifying which ISP is impacted. Not all network engineers have every single public IP in the company committed to memory!

X1700 Sockets running 22.0.19219 breaks HA
More of a caution, over the weekend we upgraded our sockets to 22.0.19219. No issues with our X1500's but sites running X1700's in an HA pair caused us some trouble. The HA keepalive no longer works, which was causing traffic to switch between Primary and Secondary sockets. Both sockets are showing as master. Engineering has discovered the root cause and are working on new version of the firmware, but wanted to let you all know in cause you plan to upgrade soon. Sockets can't reach each other via IP, but both sockets are pingable from other devices on the network.
NAT Settings
Hi all We have 2 regions that are using the same IP address. Our legacy network has NATed the IPs, so there is no IP duplication. We plan to migrate the legacy to CATO and tried to use NAT settings as in the kB, but it's not working. Region 1 (192.168.5.6/24) ⇒CATO ⇒ Azure Region 2(192.168.5.6./24)⇒NAT(10.x.x.x)⇒CATO⇒ Azure We configured NAT in the socket but PING or access to the Azure servers.
