Proxy server settings

ID 197958
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 | Field for entering the proxy server's IP address or domain name. This field is available if the Use specified proxy server settings option is selected. |
Port | Field for entering the proxy server's port. Default value: 3128. This field is available if the Use specified proxy server settings option is selected. |
Use user name and password | 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. |
Edit | Allows you to specify a password for authenticating on the proxy server. The Password field cannot be edited. By default, the password is empty. To specify a password, click Edit. In the window that opens, enter the password and click OK. 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 in the window displays the password in clear text in the password entry window. This button is 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. |
