VIPRE Recommends

Your experience with Link Isolation is dependent on the options you choose here. Review all of the options above carefully to determine the best plan of action for your organization before implementation.

The scanning process for Link Isolation takes approximately seven seconds. During that time, important steps are taking place - the URL is being loaded into the cloud browser, waiting for all embedded scripts to fully execute, and putting the page through a series of tests. 

You can fine-tune the system by ensuring all sites that are used frequently and are known to be safe have been added to the Allowed IPs/Domains tab.


URL Filter Configuration
  1. On the URL Filter Configuration tab, select from the following options:
    • Click-time Protection
      • Enable Deeplink: This option allows Link Isolation to perform deep, cloud-based scanning in order to analyze malicious URLs and obtain more information;  ; also enables URL categorization and screenshots/previews of malicious URLs
      • Click-Through > Block: Blocks all potentially malicious URLs that have been clicked in the email; unable to proceed
      • Click-Through > Warn and allow override: Displays a warning when potentially malicious URLs have been clicked in the email; gives the option to ignore the warning and proceed to the website
    • URL Rewriting
      • Exclude my own domains: URLs containing any of the domains you've added to your account will not be rewritten
      • Rewrite displayed URLs and underlying links: Visible links shown as URLs will be rewritten; this may alter the appearance of the email as rewritten URLs can be quite long
      • Rewrite URLs in text mode email: Rewrites URLs both in HTML and text mode; this may alter the appearance of the email as rewritten URLs can be quite long
  2. Click Save



Allowed IPs/Domains

  1. Click on the + plus sign on the left side of the screen
  2. Type the IP address or domain in the text box - when adding multiples, supported separators are commas, semicolons, and space
    • Any trusted IP address or domain can be added to this list as Link Isolation does not rewrite IP addresses or Domains on this list
    • VIPRE recommends only adding trusted domains, like domains associated with your organization, to the Allowed IPs/Domains list
  3. Click Save

Templates

  1. This allows you to customize the message that your users see when they click on the malicious URL based on whether you chose Warn and Allow or Block under URL Filter Configuration.
  2. Click Save

Scroll to the top of the screen and click the toggle next to Enable Link Isolation in the top-left corner
