Issue/Introduction
- What are the IP addresses used to connect to the Symantec Web Security Service (WSS)?
- What are the data center names and locations?
- What are the WSS IP addresses and ranges that have to be permitted on firewalls?
- What is a Localization Zone and where are they located?
- What are the WSS ingress and egress IP subnet ranges?
- What are the IP addresses used by integrated services, such as Web Isolation?
Resolution
Best Practices based on Connection Type (Access Method)
IPsec: For fault tolerance, fixed site backup connections should have IPsec tunnels to a physically separate compute region relative to your primary site, as well as:
- Only IPsec connections should redirect traffic to an IP address. All other connections should use WSS data center hostnames.
- IPsec connections are only accepted by the IPsec specific ingress IP addresses in the table below.
- IPsec configurations should have dead peer detection (DPD) enabled and a tunnel monitor (ie, IPSLA) configured.
- IPsec phase 1 lifetime should be 24 hours, and phase 2 lifetime should be four hours.
- IKEv2 FQDN phase 2 lifetime should be 50 minutes.
- IPsec backup tunnels should never point to the same "compute POP" (data center) that the primary tunnel is going to.
Explicit over IPsec: Explicit traffic redirection within an IPsec tunnel to WSS should always point to ep.threatpulse.net:80 . For additional information, please see the online documentation.
Explicit and Proxy Forwarding: For optimal performance and fault tolerance, explicit traffic should be redirected to proxy.threatpulse.net:8080. This hostname automatically resolves to the nearest WSS data center based on the geo-location of the client's DNS resolver. In the event of an outage (including planned maintenance), users will be automatically redirected to the nearest available data center.
Should the need to avoid geo-location services with explicit exist, the following WSS explicit IP addresses indicate the hosts an admin can point to for explicit or proxy forwarded traffic.
SEP Web and Cloud Access Protection:
- Explicit Mode (Pac File): For optimal performance and fault tolerance, explicit traffic should be redirected to sep-wtr.threatpulse.net:8080. This hostname automatically resolves to the nearest WSS data center based on the geo-location of the client's DNS resolver. No manual configuration is required.
- Tunnel Mode: Nearest data center selection is performed automatically by the agent based on the geo-location of the end user's public egress IP address. No manual configuration is required.
WSS Agent: Nearest data center selection is performed automatically by the agent based on the geo-location of the end user's public egress IP address. No manual configuration is required.
IP Addresses for WSS-Integrated Services
- Web Isolation: The egress IPs used for Web Isolation sessions triggered by WSS policy will differ from the list below and are documented here: Web Isolation Cloud Ingress and Egress IP Addresses.

WSS ingress and egress IP addresses
Note: The "ingress ranges" in the third column are also the WSS "egress ranges".

POP Types
Compute POP - Otherwise known as a data center, a point of presence that contains physical compute infrastructure.
Localization Zones - Provide an improved user experience by localizing content requests for countries where there is no WSS compute POP.
Additional Information
Attached is a text document that lists the IP addresses used by WSS from this document, including the single IP addresses at the top of the document for the portal, authentication, PFMS, CTC and so forth. Please note that the auth connector (aka bcca.exe) connects to IP addresses within the egress IP address range.
