Firewall (Android)

Use the firewall profile configuration to set up application-based and device-level firewall rules. These rules help filter web/ app traffic and re-route network traffic. The available firewall configuration options vary depending on the Android persona used:
  • Android Classic
  • Android Enterprise Corporate Owned Personal Enabled (COPE)
  • Android Enterprise Work Managed
See Firewall: Vendor Compatibility Matrix for the list of features available by vendor.
Tip: To ensure full functionality for IPv6 support, upgrade your SOTI MobiControl device agent to version 2024.0.0 or later.
