Guest Network Policy

Guest network policy can be created to provide limited access for guests (parents, visiting teachers, visiting students, etc.) on your school network.

To set up a Guest Network Policy:

1. Navigate to Policy Editor and create a new Custom Policy.

2. Select the 'This is a Guest Network Policy' option.
   

3. Once the Policy is created, you'll see the IPs tab. This tab will list the DNS Server IPs that you would use for DNS on your Guest Network. Most customers set SSID or DHCP scopes that had those DNS Server IPs directly. Any device receiving those DNS servers will get your Securly Filter Guest Network Policy.
