Approved public apps

Controlled egress for approved public-origin apps

Some business apps are public SaaS, but still need a predictable corporate egress country. BusinessProxy lets administrators model those apps as approved public-origin resources instead of sending the whole browser through a broad proxy.

Public-origin apps must point to public upstreams. Private IPs, localhost and internal DNS names are blocked by guardrails.

Approved SaaS as an appRegion-aware egressNo private upstream abuseUsage counted as app traffic

Use case

Route the work app, not the entire device

A workspace can define a public-origin application for a public business URL and select an approved egress location. The result is easier to review than a broad proxy-all exception.

Business app inventory

Public SaaS destinations become named apps with owners, policy and usage context.

Selected egress location

The app can use a selected available location when the workspace entitlement allows it.

Policy guardrails

The upstream must be public; the feature is not a back door to private network addresses.

Accounting

Make public app traffic visible

Public-origin access events can be counted in workspace usage breakdowns as app traffic, which separates approved work app traffic from ordinary browsing.

  • Keep entitlement and available locations explicit.
  • Use public-origin mode only for approved business destinations.
  • Detailed egress decision history is planned separately.

Current boundary

Not a general-purpose unblock proxy

Public-origin egress is for approved business apps under workspace policy. It is not anonymity, scraping infrastructure or a way to bypass third-party access rules.

  • No private IP, localhost or internal DNS upstreams.
  • Universal service compatibility is validated per service.
  • This is not anonymity or anti-detection tooling.
