Unsupported Features in China
The following features are not supported for devices that are configured in the China service:

- Configuration fetch using HTTP (devices must use HTTPS for configuration fetch)

MX Advanced Security license: Does not offer AMP on China Dashboard. Content filtering in China is supported in both “top sites” mode as well as “full list” mode just as in other regions. See content filtering documentation for more details. In full list mode, the MX has to make a look up to a cloud-hosted database outside of China which will introduce some latency on the order of a few seconds.
Note that these services are subject to change.
