  3. On the Mac device, in the top right, select your network. For example, click the Wi-Fi logo and select Wi-Fi settings.

    Select your network.

  4. For your network, click Details.

    Go to network details.

  5. In the left pane, click DNS.

  6. In the right pane, under DNS Servers, add the IP addresses you copied from Sophos Central.

    The DNS servers page.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Repeat these steps for all the active networks on the device.
