I will reply to my own post to add a little more clarity and maybe someone can give me a workaround.
I am trying to make sure my windows laptops are adjusting their timezone when users travel, or when we send machines to other offices in the USA.
I can use a geolocation api like ipapi.co (example) but my users are connected via SDP client (or in Socket connected site.) So, any queries to a geolocation API use the external public IP of the Cato POP.
We are in a busy area so sometimes SDP users get send to a less busy Cato POP which may be in our route traffic out a network in a different time zone. This is currently happening. I cannot tell my users approximate location with accuracy if they are using the SDP client.
unfortunately, a Cato split tunnel policy will not allow me to use a specific domain name for the split tunnel. I can also not use a Cato custom App that points to that domain name.
So if I could easily query the local ISP public IP address from the SDP client, etc. I could lookup THAT IP Address with a geolocation ASPI.
So, is there a way to query the local ISPs public address on a windows workstation?
Is there an API for the Cato (SDP) client?
I can use the general Cato client and get the information, but it seems like the information should be available locally.
I am open to ideas. Thank you.
