Chromebook-specific DNS Policy

Add a Chromebook-specific DNS policy to Umbrella and protect all Chromebook devices connected to your network. Once added, place this Chromebook-specific DNS policy at the top of your policies list so that it is evaluated first. This ensures that this Chromebook-specific DNS policy is applied to your Chromebooks before any other DNS policy is evaluated. For more information about adding a DNS policy, see Add a DNS Policy.

Note: To maintain end-user privacy when Chromebooks are connected at remote locations, you can also disable Content Logging and include only security-related events in your reporting.

  1. Click Next and continue through the DNS policy wizard until you are prompted to save it. For more information, see Add a DNS Policy.
    Note: The Custom block page, Bypass Users, and Bypass Codes features are not supported by the Chromebook client. Currently, the user is allowed to visit a site that should be blocked, and the result is that, in some cases, the site is erroneously shown in Reports as blocked.
