SDP manual PoP greyed-out

Hello,

I can choose manually a PoP on my iPhone, but the option is greyed out on my PC.
I can't find on the Cato Management portal where is the setting for that.

 

  • That's it, with Always On enabled and even if you can temporarily disable it for 30 min, it's not enough.
    If you don't have Always On, then you can turn off the connection and then it is possible to choose a manual PoP.
    It's not as straightforward as with other SASE/VPN solutions though, as you need to manually enter an IP address in the range of the PoP you desire. As nobody knows the ranges by heart, you need to rely on this page :

    It would be good to have a drop-down menu with all the PoP though.

      Yes, I just edited the screenshot for anonymize it.

  • When Always On is enabled you are not able to manually select a different PoP. Making this possible has been requested on the forum quite a while back, but it's still not implemented. Not sure whether it is on the roadmap.

        This would be amazing.  @Cato Devs - Please add this in a future update.
