Cloud Safe Network allows you to use Linewize technologies in a cloud-only environment without needing a physical Linewize Filter Appliance. Schools using Qustodio’s School Safe Networks feature must turn on Cloud Safe Network.
What is the Cloud Safe Network?
Cloud Safe Network is an important component of the Linewize Cloud service. The Connect agent sends network safety checks to the service to determine if the network a device is connected to is safe or unsafe. All networks are considered unsafe by default.
| IP Address | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Matches known association | Safe network. |
| Does not match any known association | Unsafe network. |

Important
- Cloud Safe Network only accepts subnets of /24 or smaller (256 addresses or fewer).
