Using a proxy server for updates

You may be required to specify proxy server settings to download database and application module updates from the update source. If there are multiple update sources, proxy server settings are applied for all sources. If a proxy server is not needed for some update sources, you can disable use of a proxy server in the policy properties. The application will also use a proxy server to access Kaspersky Security Network and activation servers.

To configure a connection to update sources through a proxy server:

  1. In the main window of Web Console, click Settings_button.

    The Administration Server properties window opens.

  2. Go to the Internet access settings section.
  3. Select the Use proxy server check box.
  4. Configure the proxy server connection settings: proxy server address, port number, and authentication settings (user name and password).
  5. Click Save.

To disable use of a proxy server for a specific administration group:

  1. In the main window of the Web Console, select the Devices → Policies and profiles tab.
  2. Select Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy for computers on which you want to disable proxy server usage.

    The policy properties window opens.

  3. Select the Application settings tab.
  4. Go to the General settings → Proxy server settings section.
  5. Select Do not use proxy server.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click Save.
