Description

Encrypted connections scan enabled / disabled

This toggle button enables or disables scanning of encrypted connections.

The check toggle button is switched on by default.

Trusted certificates

The Configure list of trusted certificates link opens a window where you can configure a list of trusted certificates. Trusted certificates are used when scanning encrypted connections.

Action when an untrusted certificate is encountered

You can select the action that the application performs on a container when it detects 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 the action that the application performs when an error occurs during an 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.

Trusted domains

Clicking the Configure list of trusted domains link opens the Trusted domains window.

Network ports

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

Monitor all network ports

If this option is selected, the application monitors all network ports.

Monitor specified ports only

If this option is selected, the application monitors only the network ports specified in the Network ports window.

This option is selected by default.
