KSN proxy server is a service that ensures interaction between the Kaspersky Security Network infrastructure and client devices that are managed through the Administration Server.
An infrastructure of cloud services that provides access to the Kaspersky database with constantly updated information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. Kaspersky Security Network ensures faster responses by Kaspersky applications to threats, improves the performance of some protection components, and reduces the likelihood of false positives.
Using a KSN proxy server provides you the following features:
Client devices can send requests to KSN and transfer information to KSN even if they do not have direct access to the internet.
The KSN proxy server caches processed data, thus reducing the load on the outbound channel and the time period spent for waiting for information requested by a client device.
In the Administration Server properties window, you can configure the KSN proxy server and view statistics on the KSN proxy server usage.

In the console tree, select the Administration Server for which you need to view the KSN statistics.
