Cloud SWG Announcement: Cross-Regional Failover Support Change for Proxy Forwarding August 25, 2025

Monday, 25 August — 3 hours
Scheduled
Scheduled

Cloud SWG will undergo maintenance beginning on August 25, 2025 at 16:00 UTC for a duration of 3 hours. As a result of the maintenance, in order to provide the best cross-regional failover support, the failover locations will change for Explicit Proxy and Proxy Forwarding customers directing traffic to proxy.threatpulse.net.

Important notes:

  • Each Cloud SWG site provides redundancy within a Google Cloud (GCP) region, where a cluster of multiple datapods are spread across three availability zones. Redundancy is also supported across GCP regions
  • Each Cloud SWG (primary) site and its assigned failover site are in different GCP regions
  • Each failover site has the capacity to support all traffic (WSS Agent, IPsec firewalls, proxy forwarding, and explicit proxy) from its largest neighboring site (the primary site)
  • Each Cloud SWG site auto-scales when higher loads are observed due to failover traffic from its neighboring site

Required Action

To ensure optimized redundancy for Proxy Forwarding and Explicit Access methods, make sure to carefully follow the configuration recommendations provided in the Fixed Cloud SWG Location Method Technical Documentation.
