FQDNs for Network Connections
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) refers to the complete and unique address of an internet presence. It consists of the host name and the domain, and is used to locate specific hosts online and access them using name resolution.
FQDN adds an extra layer of flexibility and precision when you create VPN profiles and access rules, providing enhanced security and simplifying network management. Secure Access offers a robust set of features to safeguard your infrastructure, and among them is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) feature.
In the context of Secure Access remote access VPNs, FQDN enables you to create VPN profiles based on domain names rather than just IP addresses. This introduces a more flexible approach to controlling network traffic, as it allows for profiles to be defined based on specific services or applications hosted on those domains even when associated IP addresses change dynamically.
