If you use the VPM to create policy, can you also write your own CPL outside the VPM to create additional policy?

Using the VPM (Visual Policy Manager) to create a policy does not restrict you from writing your own CPL (Custom Policy Language) outside of the VPM. The flexibility provided by the system allows for the integration of both VPM-based policies and custom CPL scripts. This capability enables administrators to fine-tune their approach to policy creation, allowing for various strategies to meet unique organizational needs.

By allowing the creation of additional policies in CPL outside of the VPM, the system supports a more dynamic and tailored management of proxy use and security controls. It means you can implement specialized rules or adjustments that may not be easily represented using the VPM’s graphical interface or default settings. This can be particularly beneficial in complex environments where specific contextual requirements or conditions need to be addressed through code.

Additionally, this flexibility facilitates advanced users in the organization to utilize their scripting knowledge to either complement or extend the capabilities of the VPM. Consequently, they can create more comprehensive and nuanced policies that may improve functionality or security beyond the limitations of the VPM.
