Action when an untrusted certificate is encountered

You can select an action to be performed by the application upon detection of an untrusted certificate:

  • Allow connection to a domain with an untrusted certificate (default value).
  • Block connection to a domain with an untrusted certificate.

Action on errors during an encrypted connections scan

You can select an action to be performed by the application when an error occurs during encrypted connection scan:

  • Add website to exclusions (default value) – add the domain that resulted in the error to the list of domains with scan errors and do not scan encrypted network traffic when this domain is visited.
  • Disconnect from website – block the network connection.

Certificate verification policy

You can select how the application verifies certificates:

  • Local check— the application does not use the Internet to validate a certificate.
  • Full check (default value) — The application uses the Internet to check and download the missing chains that are required to validate a certificate.

Exclusions

Network ports

Clicking the Configure network port settings link opens the Network ports window, where you can specify the ports to be scanned by the application.
