first of all: I am taking part in the EAP for Sophos DNS protection as a Sophos partner and test user, I am no Sophos staff.
Your use case depends on how and which functions of OpenDNS you use. You do not need to be behind a corporate firewall, if that is your question.
As far as I can tell, this could be a complete replacement of things you can do with OpenDNS. You have the advantage of managing the settings in one place together with the other components of Sophos you might use.
In the short term, the roaming endpoint use case will not be covered by DNS Protection. This requires some kind of endpoint agent presence that will take care of identifying the user to the service when we can't rely on recognizing the origin IP address.
We are looking at ways to provide endpoint integration in the future.
Since Covid nearly all our customers have laptops and hybrid working options. What is the suggestion for Roaming users? If there is no agent, cannot this be added in to the Sophos Endpoint Security Agent as an option when you buy the product.
We already have web security policies as part of the Endpoint security product we just need more advanced options and management.
Hi Steve, we are certainly looking at how we can best incorporate this functionality into our roadmap for the future. Some kind of integration with the Endpoint Agent would be the best option for sure.
