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 vPOP and where are they located?
- What are the WSS ingress and egress subnet ranges?
Resolution
Best Practices based on Connection Type (Access Method)
IPsec: For fault tolerance, each customer site should have IPsec tunnels established to at least two (2) WSS data centers in the table below, 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 ("Trans-proxy" forwarding): Explicit traffic redirection within an IPsec tunnel to WSS should always point to ep.threatpulse.net:80
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 exists, the following WSS explicit IP addresses indicate the VIPs an admin can point to for explicit or Proxy Forwarded traffic.
SEP WTR: For optimal performance and fault tolerance, explicit traffic should be redirected to sep-wtr.threatpulse.net:8080. Nearest data center selection is performed automatically by the agent based on the geo location of the end user's public IP address. No manual configuration is required.
WSS Agent, Unified 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.

POP Types
Compute POP - A point of presence that contains physical compute infrastructure (aka: data center).
vPOP - Virtual point of presence. vPOPs are hosted in a "Compute POP" (data center) in another locale and provide content localization for users in a specific country. Performance is maintained for vPOP transactions thanks to our global private network that minimizes use of congested public Internet routes.
