Appendix 5. Network settings for interaction with external services
Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Security Center uses an encrypted communication channel with TLS (Transport Layer Security) to work with external services of Kaspersky.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the following network settings for interacting with external services.
Updating databases and application software modules.
downloads.upd.kaspersky.com
Protocol: HTTPS
Port: 443
Updating databases and application software modules.
Verifying access to Kaspersky servers. If access to the servers using system DNS is not possible, the application uses public DNS. This is necessary to make sure anti-virus databases are updated and the level of security is maintained for the computer. Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the following list of public DNS servers in the following order:
Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8).
Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1).
Alibaba Cloud DNS (223.6.6.6).
Quad9 DNS (9.9.9.9).
CleanBrowsing (185.228.168.168).
Requests emitted by the application may contain addresses of domains and the public IP address of the user because the application establishes a TCP/UDP connection with the DNS server. This information is needed, for example, to validate the certificate of a web resource when using HTTPS. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is using a public DNS server, data processing is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant service. If you want to prevent Kaspersky Endpoint Security from using a public DNS server, contact Technical Support for a private patch.
