You can configure proxy server settings if the users of the client devices use a proxy server to connect to the internet. Kaspersky Endpoint Security may use a proxy server to connect to Kaspersky servers, for example, when updating application databases and modules or when communicating with Kaspersky Security Network and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response (KATA).
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, the use of a proxy server for connecting to Kaspersky Security Network, the SVM, and the Integration Server is not supported.
Proxy server settings
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
Do not use proxy server |
If this option is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not use a proxy server. |
Use specified proxy server settings |
If this option is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the specified proxy server settings, for example, for integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response (KATA). |
Address and port |
Fields for entering the proxy server's IP address or domain name as well as its port. Default port: 3128. The fields are available if the Use specified proxy server settings option is selected. |
Use user name and password |
This check box enables or disables proxy server authentication using a user name and password. This check box is available if the Use specified proxy server settings option is selected. This check box is cleared by default. When connecting via an HTTP proxy, we recommend to use a separate account that is not used to sign in to other systems. An HTTP proxy uses an insecure connection, and the account may be compromised. |
User name |
Entry field for the user name used for proxy server authentication. This entry field is available if the Use user name and password check box is selected. |
Password |
Entry field for entering the user password for proxy server authentication. It is recommended to make sure that the password complexity and anti-bruteforce mechanisms ensure that the password cannot be guessed within 6 months. Clicking the Show button causes the user's password to be displayed in clear text in the Password field. By default, the user password is hidden and is displayed as asterisks. The entry field and button are available if the Use user name and password check box is selected. |
Use Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for the application activation |
This check box enables or disables use of Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for application activation. If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for the application activation. This check box is cleared by default. This setting applies only if the application is used in standalone mode. If the application is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, the license information is provided by the Protection Server. |
