If its for ios devices, there is an option to force the device connection only to the network we setup. Pretty useful feature if you have already configured the wifi policy for the device. This will ensure security for the data transfer.

I forgot to mention. All my devices are android phones. Almost all are above android 9. Actually we cant restrict the wifi connection to a single network, the employees will need to access wifi connects even after they leave the office.

Hey @ezequiel,
Thanks for reaching out to us.

You can use the Dynamic Group feature to dynamically group devices according to the given conditions. In order to automatically categorize all enrolled devices based on their network connection, set the Dynamic Group condition filter as Network info > Wi-Fi IP Address > Is > input the IP address of the network connection.

Now, upload the required files to the Hexnode portal from the Content tab and configure a new policy to transfer the files. Provide the file names and the location on the device where the files should be saved. Finally, associate the policy with the previously created dynamic group. The policy will be automatically associated with the devices connected to the specified Wi-Fi network.

Hope that helps with your query.

If you are looking for an extra layer of security, configure a vpn profile for the device. This will provide an added layer of protection for the data transfer.

Ain’t it enough to setup a proxy network for security.

[Carlisle234 Participant 9 March 2022 Carlisle234 Participant]

Definitely, a vpn is more secure than a proxy. The vpn works at the system level and encrypts all the data you send through it. Meanwhile, a proxy server doesn’t necessarily provide any extra security.

Yes, true enough. But most of the vpn services are paid and they tend to decrease your network speed because all data is send only after it is encrypted. Affects you most when large data is transferred.
