Deploy the Netskope Client for Netskope Private Access

Netskope Private Access recommends that the Netskope Client to be installed on a Windows, Mac, Android, or Chrome OS device. The Client steers private access application traffic to private access gateways. An alternate method is to use Browser Access for Netskope Private Access.

Important

When the Client detects an alternate steering method, like a GRE or IPSec tunnel, it disables the Client-based data tunnel (TLS tunnel) to the Netskope platform and therefore access to private apps. This configuration can be useful for disabling private app steering while on-premises.

The Netskope Client supports these operating systems:
