Android anti-phishing using Tunnel app

Once you have Advanced phishing protection for managed devices for Android devices through the MTD threat management console, you will need to provision Android clients with the Tunnel app, to provide a VPN pathway. See Deploying Tunnel app to Android and Android Enterprise devices.

Android Enterprise (AE) clients need an additional app configuration with "Use Tunnel for Anti-phishing Only" option enabled. This permits anti-phishing for end users not using other Tunnel capabilities. See Creating an Ivanti Tunnel app configuration for AE devices.
