Configuring proxy server settings

This step is displayed only if you selected to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Standard mode as a first step.

At this step, you must specify the proxy server settings if you are using a proxy server to access the Internet. Internet connection is required to download the application databases from the update servers.

To configure proxy server settings, perform one of the following actions:

• If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, specify the address of the proxy server using one of the following formats:
  • <connection protocol>://<IP address of the proxy server>:<port number> if the proxy server connection does not require authentication
  • <connection protocol>://<user name>:<password>@<IP address of the proxy server>:<port number> if the proxy server connection requires authentication

    Connecting to a proxy server over HTTPS is not supported.

    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.

• If you do not use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, enter no as your answer.

By default, the application suggests no.

You can manage proxy server settings later, after completing the initial configuration.
