Updatable objects for Desktop Policy

PEO — Tue, 14 May 2019 08:54:20 GMT

As we have updatable objects for Office 365 services in the R80.20 gateway policy, I would like to have the same possibility for the Desktop.

Any ideas on how to make the Desktop policy more flexible in that way?
Today we manually maintain a "static" group of O365 addresses, which reflects Microsoft´s listing.

Are there any new features related to this challenge to be released?

I would suggest some kind of "SD-WAN" functionality, which can prioritize traffic to go through either VPN or not.

Can you explain your exact use case for this feature?

The use case:

we like to have a "as tight and precise as possible desktop policy".

some trafic must go to the datacenter by VPN, some goes to O365 directly etc.

the desktop policy should need as little as possible maintenance, meaning flexible and actual as e.g. Microsoft changes its networks and services over time.

For that, I think, support for updatable objects in the desktop policy could be first step.

What about Internet-bound traffic (not O365-related) in your scenario?
