Introducing Layer 7 Policy Routes and Outbound Rules in EnGenius Cloud

EnGenius has announced the launch of two new powerful features in EnGenius Cloud and the VPN Router ESG series: Layer 7 Policy Routes and Outbound Rules. These enhancements offer a more granular level of control over your network traffic, allowing you to optimize performance, improve security, and streamline your management efforts.

Layer 7 Policy-based Route

You can create policy-based routing rules to direct specific applications to different WAN interfaces without specifying IP addresses or port ranges

The Benefits

  • Optimized Traffic Management: Direct critical applications to a primary WAN while routing less important traffic to a secondary WAN
  • Enhanced Network Performance: Improve network efficiency by balancing load between WAN interfaces based on application
  • Simplified Rule Management: No need to update routing rules for changing IP addresses or port ranges

Layer 7 Firewall Rules:

You can create firewall rules to block specific applications without specifying IP addresses or port ranges. This feature is particularly useful when applications frequently change their IP addresses or use multiple Ips

The Benefits

  • Flexible Traffic Management: Define custom rules to control outbound traffic, blocking or allowing specific destinations, applications, or protocols.
  • Improved Network Security: Prevent unauthorized data leakage and protect your network from external threats.
  • Enhanced Network Visibility: Gain deeper insights into outbound traffic patterns and identify potential security risks.
