Barracuda CloudGen Access Proxy will require a minimum app version of 1.3 on all operating systems. Starting July 19th, it will be enforced as the minimum version on all access requests received by the proxy.

Please kindly update the CloudGen Access app on your endpoints to version 1.3 before that date. You can find the links to the app installers from here.

New features:

  • UDP Support

  • Wildcard Resources

  • Wildcard Exceptions

  • Fixed IP for Resources

  • Admin Management


UDP Support

We added UDP support for resources.
CloudGen Access App: ≥ v1.3.0


Wildcard Resources

A wildcard is a character used to represent an unspecified resource name or an unspecified part of a resource name. You can add a wildcard resource by adding an asterisk (*) character at the beginning of the hostname.

Example: If you add *.acme.com as a resource, all traffic from the subdomains of acme.com will be intercepted and sent through the CloudGen Access proxy.


Wildcard Exceptions

If the resource domain (public or private) is a wildcard domain (example: *.acme.internal), you can add exceptions that will not be resolved via that resource.

Example: *.acme.internal will catch insights.acme.internal and chat.fruits.internal, but if you add an exception for 'chat', then chat.acme.internal will be resolved to the normal public DNS resolution.

Fixed IP

You can assign a fixed IP address (only for non-wildcard domains) to the resources. If you do so, a resource domain will always be resolved to that IP address on the client-side. This is necessary for some resources, such as VOIP (3CX) and other UDP protocols that might send the IP that clients are expected to connect to as part of a separate session mechanism.

Example: If you add a fixed IP 192.168.0.3 for call.acme.internal, it will always be the same IP. This is necessary for some resources, such as the VOIP protocol (3CX).


Add, Edit, or Remove Admins

Account owners can manage admins from the Identity page. Admins tab will only be available to the account owners.

To create a new admin:

  1. Go to Identity and navigate to Admins. Click the + icon in the top right.

  2. Add the following:

    • Name – Name to identify the admin.

    • Email – Enter the email address of the admin.

  3. Select the Authentication type.

    • If you select BCC or SSO, you must configure IdP first. (Make sure that you configured your IdP correctly; otherwise, you might lose access to your account.)

    • If you select Password:

      • You can send an email to the new admin, and they can set their password, or

      • You can manually set a password for the new admin.

  4. Select the required Roles for the admin.

  5. Click Create.
