Allowing ChatGPT Access via Deep Packet Inspection Allowlist
Overview
This article explains how to configure Endpoint Protector to allow access to ChatGPT by adding the openai.com domain to a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) allowlist. In environments where DPI is enabled, web-based AI services like ChatGPT may be blocked by default because security policies restrict access to certain domains.
Instructions
- In the Endpoint Protector Console, navigate to Denylists and Allowlists > Allowlists > Deep Packet Inspection.
- Create a new allowlist dictionary for allowed domains and add the domain using wildcards:
*openai.com* - Once the allowlist dictionary is created, include it in the relevant Content Aware Policy.
- Edit the Content Aware Policy.
- Expand the Policy Allowlist section.
- Navigate to Deep Packet Inspection and select the dictionary you created.
- Save the policy.
