ChromeOS VPN solution meeting NCSC.gov.uk guidelines
Is there a blog article on Configuring VPN on managed ChromeOS devices that meets the NCSC.gov.uk guidelines, to work with AWS ideally but Google cloud is an option. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/platform-guides/chrome-os Configure a virtual private network (VPN) where required: ChromeOS supports the use of NCSC recommended protocol IPSec IKEv2 which can be configured using the built-in client. This can be deployed via an MDM (such as Google Workspace). If a third party VPN is required, use an official Android app deployed by the Google Play Store to manage and configure the connection on ChromeOS. When using third party VPN solutions, you should test that ChromeOS, Crostini and Android traffic are protected by the VPN (where required) and that the VPN is automatically started. Requirements above. Ideally Split tunnel so that Google Workspace traffic ( like Google Meet) does not go over the VPN. Managed from the google admin console with.

Two new features arriving to the Admin console!
Original Post Date: 02-10-2024 I hope you've had a good start to the new month. We've just launched two new features to help you manage your devices easier. 1. Simplified filtering for policies As you all know, the Admin console is home to hundreds and hundreds of policies. In the past, it’s been very difficult to navigate the console and find the exact policy that you’re looking for without knowing the exact name of that policy. Now, when searching for policies, natural language processing is used to bring up the most relevant results and rank them to make them much much easier to find. This is a big improvement to the Admin console, and will be available in Q4. 2. Simplified filtering for devices In a very similar vein, managing devices can be difficult and time consuming, especially for organizations with thousands of devices. With NLP search, Google AI will be able to surface devices that context match your search criteria. So now you can search for things like “devices with no activity in the last 20 days,” or “all hp c645 devices.” Once again, making it that much easier for admins to manage their fleet. Any questions? Feel free to ask them below this post.
