In Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere deployments, the hybrid service can be configured to manage off-site users, regardless of how those users requests' are handled when they are in-network.
*
For users whose requests are handled by on-premises components (Filtering Service) when they are inside the network, you can configure the browser PAC file to determine whether the user is in-network or off-site before forwarding an Internet request.
If you are using the PAC file generated by the hybrid service, this configuration occurs automatically based on the settings that you provide in the Web Security manager.
*
For users managed by the hybrid service both in and outside the network, no PAC file changes are required. When off-site users make an Internet request, they are prompted to log on to the hybrid service so that the appropriate user or group-based policy can be applied.

Important 
While you can use remote filtering software for some off-site users and the hybrid service for others, the hybrid service cannot be used to monitor Internet activity for machines that also have Remote Filtering Client installed.
