WatchGuard Community Guidelines

Gill_McDonald

The WatchGuard Community is a great place for WatchGuard Customers and Partners to come and share information, discuss network security, get assistance with the setup and configuration of their WatchGuard product and troubleshoot any issues they may have. We encourage you to participate, share useful tips and help each other where possible.

We have put together the following guidelines to help ensure our community is a useful, safe place where our Customers can get help, share knowledge and discuss industry trends.

Does promoting your business include making the community aware of a security related IT position using WatchGuard products? This is an end-user role.

Hi @Alan_Mercer If you have a job posting, I would suggest sharing it with via a job site (like LinkedIn) where WatchGuard maintains a presence. The support forums would not be an appropriate place for that content.
