In the Cost-Aware Networking section, you can specify whether or not the application must limit traffic based on calculations of Internet connection costs. This section is displayed when using Microsoft Windows 8 or a later operating system.
Limit traffic on metered connections
If this check box is selected, the application limits its own network traffic when the Internet connection is limited. Kaspersky Internet Security identifies a high-speed mobile Internet connection as a limited connection and identifies a Wi-Fi connection as an unlimited connection.
This check box is displayed when using Microsoft Windows 8 or a later operating system.
In the Traffic processing section, you can specify whether or not the application should inject a web page interaction script into traffic.
Inject script into web traffic to interact with web pages
If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Internet Security injects a web page interaction script into web traffic. This script ensures the operation of such components as Safe Money, Private Browsing, Parental Control, Anti-Banner, URL Advisor, and Secure Data Input.
In the Monitored ports section, you can choose the port monitoring mode that is used by Mail Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and Web Anti-Virus to scan data streams.
Monitor all network ports
In this port monitoring mode, Mail Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and Web Anti-Virus monitor all open ports of your computer.
Monitor selected ports only
In this port monitoring mode, Mail Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and Web Anti-Virus monitor the selected ports of your computer.
A list of ports that are normally used for transmitting email and web traffic is included in the application distribution kit.
Select
Clicking this link opens the Network ports window. In this window, you can create a list of ports to be monitored or a list of applications for which Kaspersky Internet Security monitors all ports.
In the Encrypted connections scanning section, you can enable / disable scanning for encrypted connections that use the SSL protocol.
Websites
Clicking this link opens a window containing the list of websites that may be unavailable when scanning of secure connections is enabled.
Do not scan encrypted connections
If this option is selected, Kaspersky Internet Security does not scan SSL traffic.
Scan encrypted connections upon request from protection components
Kaspersky Internet Security uses the installed Kaspersky Lab certificate to verify the security of SSL connections if this is required by the following protection components:
- Web Anti-Virus
- Anti-Banner
- Parental Control
- URL Advisor
- Private Browsing
- Safe Money
If these components are disabled, Kaspersky Internet Security does not verify the security of SSL connections.
After Kaspersky Internet Security verifies an SSL connection, the certificates of websites may not display the name of the organization under which the website is registered.
If you do not want the application to verify the SSL connection with a website, you can exclude the website from verification.
Always scan encrypted connections
If this option is selected, Kaspersky Internet Security always uses the installed Kaspersky Lab certificate to ensure that connections are secure.
Use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for connections allows safely exchanging data on the Internet. The SSL protocol makes it possible to identify the parties exchanging data using electronic certificates, encrypt data during transfer, and ensure the integrity of data during transfer.
If Kaspersky Internet Security detects an invalid certificate when connecting to a server (for example, when the certificate has been replaced by someone with malicious intentions), Kaspersky Internet Security displays a notification prompting you to accept or reject the certificate, or else to view information about the certificate. If Kaspersky Internet Security is operating in automatic protection mode, Kaspersky Internet Security automatically terminates any connection that uses an invalid certificate, without displaying any notification.
