Iridium GO! exec - Creating and Managing Custom Web/App Profiles

Custom Web/App Profiles allow you to control which applications on your smart device or computer can send or receive data through the Iridium GO! exec. These profiles support advanced filtering and are useful for reducing data usage and ensuring only the intended app accesses the satellite connection.

Creating or editing custom profiles requires basic networking and firewall knowledge. Some settings, such as ports or protocol requirements, must be obtained directly from the application or service provider. Customer Support does not have access to this information.

Profile configuration options

Each Web/App Profile includes the following configurable fields:

• Profile name

• Description

• DNS blocking (enable or disable)

• Rule policy (Allow All Except or Block All Except)

• IP address or domain entries with optional wildcards

• Port selection (single port, range, or all ports)

• Protocol selection (TCP, UDP, or both)

User-created profiles are retained after a normal reboot. User-created profiles are deleted after a factory reset.

How to create a custom Web/App Profile

1. Open the Iridium GO! exec app and go to Device Settings.

2. Select Web/App Profiles to view the list of predefined and user-created profiles.

3. Tap the + button in the top right corner to add a new profile.

4. Enter a profile name and a short description.

5. Select the Rule Policy:

   • Allow All Except (Blacklist) – all traffic allowed except what is defined in rules

   • Block All Except (Whitelist) – all traffic blocked except what is defined in rules

6. Under Profile Rules, tap the + button to add a rule.

7. For each rule, define:

   • A single IP, IP range, or domain (wildcards allowed, for example: 201.130.12.* or *.facebook.com)

   • The port or port range (0–65535)

   • The protocol type (TCP, UDP, or both)

8. Repeat rule creation as needed. Up to 20 rules can be included in one profile.

9. Save the profile. Up to 10 custom profiles can be created.

Managing existing profiles

• Predefined Web/App Profiles cannot be edited or deleted.

• User-created profiles can be managed as follows:

• Create: Tap the + button

• Edit: Tap the > icon next to any profile

• Delete: Swipe left on a profile to reveal Delete or Copy

• Copy: Swipe left on an existing profile and choose Copy

Additional notes

• Enabled: DNS queries from connected devices are not sent through the satellite network

• Disabled: DNS queries are allowed through the satellite network

Rule policy definitions

• Allow All Except Filters: Allows all traffic except what is filtered by rules (Blacklist)

• Block All Except Filters: Blocks all traffic except what is explicitly allowed (Whitelist)

Rule behavior
