Feature Request: PDQ Inventory Agent: Disable External Access

Avatar
Michael Dobbs

Quick (maybe?) feature request: I would love to be able to disable external communication of the PDQ Inventory Agent (and allow only Internal communication).

As paranoid as we are with security and privacy, I would love to be able to allow only internal communication. (Our staff members have laptops they take home...we would want them to only report back when they are on our internal network).

    We are announcing the End of Life (EOL) of the optional PDQ Agent beta from our existing products. See this blog post for more information https://www.pdq.com/blog/pdq-agent-status-update/

    Thank you for the feature request. It’s important, as we've been a customer-driven product since the beginning. I've made a note of the request, but cannot provide a timeline when, or if, the request will be approved or, if approved, with what version.

    In the meantime, the best way I know of to disable External access is to add agentapi.pdq.com and agentsapi.pdq.com to the hosts file of each target. Just point those domains to 0.0.0.0

    Thank you.

    And great idea about the hosts file!
