Configuring a secure connection for website categories

By default, Kaspersky Secure Connection does not establish a secure connection when you open websites in a browser. You can configure activation of a secure connection for different website categories if Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Total Security or Kaspersky Security Cloud is installed and activated on your computer. For example, you can specify that a secure connection must be enabled when you visit websites of payment systems or social networks.

To configure a secure connection for website categories:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the main application window, click the buttonVPN Menu.
  3. Select the Settings item in the drop-down menu.

    The Settings window opens.

  4. Click the Configure rules for websites button.

    The Rules for connection to websites window opens.

  5. In the Enable secure connection when browsing unsecured websites of the following categories section, select a website category:
    • Banking websites. Secure Connection is enabled when you visit bank websites.
    • Payment systems. Secure Connection is enabled when you visit websites of payment systems.
    • Internet shops with online payment. Secure Connection is enabled when you visit websites of online stores with integrated payment systems.
    • Social networks. Secure Connection is enabled when you visit social network websites.
  6. In the Choose virtual server drop-down list, specify the country through which you want to establish a secure connection for this website category.
  7. Select the Notify when enabled check box if you want to receive notifications about a secure connection being enabled when you visit this category of websites.
  8. By default, Kaspersky Secure Connection notifies you when a secure connection cannot be established with the selected categories of websites. Select an action:
    • If you want to receive notifications informing you that a secure connection cannot be established with a website of the selected category, leave the Notify if secure connection cannot be established check box selected.
    • If you do not want to receive notifications informing you that a secure connection cannot be established with a website of the selected category, clear the Notify if secure connection cannot be established check box.

By default, Kaspersky Secure Connection does not prompt you to enable a secure connection if the HTTPS protocol is used to connect to a website.
