Installing Endpoint

You can install Endpoint on roaming client devices to protect them against malicious attacks. Depending on the number and type of devices and your security management setup, you can deploy Endpoint using one of the following:

Endpoint supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 DNS configurations, thereby protecting all devices regardless of their network environments. Endpoint in a dual-stack environment is able to proxy IPv6 DNS queries and forward them to Infoblox Threat Defense over IPv4.

Note

Endpoint does not support IPv6-only environments.

Note

Installing on Mac OS

If installing on Mac OS and the default firewall setting is unchecked for “Automatically allow downloaded signed software to receive incoming connections”, then the OS will prompt “Do you want the application “coredns” to accept incoming network connections?”
Responding to the prompt and choosing to receive coredns network responses will have no affect on Firewall allow/block, as the bind IP is alias and the coredns functions and will work as intended.

Ensure that you review the best practices before installing Endpoint on your devices. For information, see Best Practices for Endpoint.
