Firewall Redirect: Forwarding Traffic to the Forcepoint Cloud Service : Cloud service IP addresses
Cloud service IP addresses
Firewall Redirect | Forcepoint Web Security Cloud
To locate the nearest cloud data center, refer to the following article in the Forcepoint Knowledge Base, which contains a list of the Forcepoint cloud service data centers and their locations: Cloud service data center IP addresses and port numbers.
To forward traffic to a particular data center:
1.
Use the article above to determine the appropriate country and city, as well as the data center name (usually a single letter or short code).
2.
Perform a DNS lookup using a data center-specific DNS name in the following format:
cluster.NAME.SERVICE.global.blackspider.com
Where NAME is the letter or code for the data center, and SERVICE indicates either cloud ("webdefence") or hybrid ("hybrid-web").
This returns the service IP address for the specified cluster. For example:
*
Cloud (webdefence):
$ nslookup cluster.x.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Name: cluster.x.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Address: 85.115.33.180
$ nslookup cluster.g.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Name: cluster.g.webdefence.global.blackspider.com
Address: 208.87.233.180
*
Hybrid (hybrid-web):
$ nslookup cluster.x.hybrid-web.global.blackspider.com
Name: cluster.x.hybrid-web.global.blackspider.com
Address: 85.115.33.150
DNS lookup
You can also locate the nearest cloud data center by performing a DNS lookup from your network. Use the following lookups for cloud and hybrid deployments:
*
Cloud:
nslookup webdefence.global.blackspider.com
*
Hybrid:
nslookup hybrid-web.global.blackspider.com
 
* 
Note 
The result of this DNS lookup depends on your DNS configuration, and may not always return the most appropriate data center. Verify the IP destination returned by referring to the article above.
