Interesting point! Usually Cato Client would connect to the PoP that is most optimal.
Just to understand better, is there a reason when you mentioned: "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"? ___

Making Connections
4 months agoHi Michael, delayed response sorry.
Yes the reasoning is the chinese firewall still impacts traffic when a user connects to a chinese PoP and egresses, via Cato internal backbone, on another "out of country/non-China" PoP (eg HK or Tokyo). The only way to avoid being impacted by the chinese gov FW rules is to have the client tunnel built, end to end, directly to the HK/Tokyo PoP.
