Proxy server connection settings are used for updating databases, activating the application, and external services.

If you want to use a specified proxy server when connecting to KATA or Kaspersky Sandbox server, make sure that the Connect through a proxy server if specified in the general settings option is selected when configuring integration with KATA or Kaspersky Sandbox. This option is not selected by default.

To configure proxy server connection settings:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the console tree, open the Policies folder.
3. Select Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy and open its properties window in one of the following ways:
   • Double-click the policy name.
   • Select Properties in the policy context menu.
   • Select the Configure policy settings item in the right part of the window.
4. In the Application settings section select the General settings subsection.
5. Select one of the following proxy service usage options:
   • Do not use proxy server.
   • Use proxy server with specified settings.
6. If you select the Use proxy server with specified settings option, specify the address and port of the proxy server you want to connect to in the Server name or IP address and Port fields.

   The default port number is 8080.

7. If you want to use NTLM authentication (NT LAN Manager Network Authentication Protocol) for connecting to the proxy server:
   1. Select the Use NTLM authentication by user name and password check box.
   2. In the User name field, enter the name of the user, whose account will be used for proxy server authentication.
   3. In the Password field, enter the password for connecting to the proxy server.

      You can make password characters visible by clicking Show to the right of the Password field.

8. If you do not want to use the proxy server for internal addresses of your organization, select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box.
9. Click the Apply button.

   As a result, you return to the policy properties window.

10. In the upper right corner of the settings group, change the switch from Policy not enforced to Under policy.
11. Click OK.

Proxy server connection settings are configured.
