Cross border connectivity option(Prisma Access China)

Attention: JAPAC TPM team
Hello Team,

When integrating Prisma Access China with Prisma Access Global,
my understanding is that one of the following options is required:
-Cross Border Line (CBL)
-Premium Internet (PI)

We are considering Cross Border Line (CBL), but does the availability of a whitelist service determine whether international internet communication from China is allowed?
Since there is limited public information available, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could share insights on this.

There is no direct internet communication through the CBL. All public internet needs to be redirected into the CBL by configuring traffic steering for the desired FQDNs or URLs

@reaper

Thank you for your response.

I apologize for the additional question, but could you please clarify the following?

I understand that by configuring traffic steering, the traffic will be redirected to CBL, enabling international internet communication.
In that case, is the option for Zenlayer to maintain a URL whitelist on behalf of the customer mandatory?

Hi, @y.saitou by default zenlayer will not block anything, but if you need to obtain China regulation to block some certain websites and only allow for business requirement, Zenlayer can provide a whitelist service on behalf of Customer or Palo Alto
