If you use Jamf Trust for Windows to control data usage on mobile hotspot (also known as Mi-Fi) devices, Jamf recommends that you modify the settings of each device to restrict internet access to only the devices enrolled with Jamf Protect's internet content filtering and usage controls service (formerly Data Policy). Two configuration options exist:

  • (Recommended) Configure MAC address filtering on the Mi-Fi device

  • Limit Wi-Fi connectivity to specific Windows devices

Note:

These are general guidelines and the exact steps may differ depending on the specific brand and model of the Mi-Fi devices used within your organization.
