NetworkShield is available in three configurations:
• DNS service: a lightweight change to your DNS settings that redirects requests to known
harmful websites. No hardware or traffic decryption required. Quick to configure.
• Cloud proxy: traffic is routed through Ripple’s cloud-based proxy infrastructure for deeper
inspection. No on-site hardware required. Decryption is optional.
• On-site network appliance: a physical device installed on your premises that can perform full
traffic decryption and search intent detection.
All configurations require a static IP address for authentication to the service. Our team will
advise on the best option for your infrastructure during the onboarding process.
