WebTitan OTG for Mac Guide

Welcome to the WebTitan OTG for Mac guide. OTG stands for 'on the go' and is a roaming client for Mac and Windows users to filter content on devices being used outside of your network. OTG is an endpoint client that allows off-network roaming by users while continuing to apply their policy.

Once installed by the administrator on a laptop, OTG manages the user’s network DNS settings and sends the user’s current IP address to WebTitan Cloud. When the user goes to a new location e.g. a coffee shop, OTG updates WebTitan Cloud with the new IP so that content filtering continues.

This guide describes a command-line installation which is the quickest way to install OTG, as it automatically creates a Roaming location in WebTitan Cloud as part of the install.

  • Each installation of OTG corresponds to a Customer's roaming Location in Locations & Policies > Locations > Roaming.

  • Each installation creates a user in the Internal Users panel based on the Windows username on the machine it is installed on, e.g. user@USER-PC. Go to Locations & Policies > Internal Users.

Therefore, if you successfully install OTG on thirty laptops, thirty roaming locations and thirty users will be added to your WebTitan Cloud.
