You can configure proxy server settings if the users of the client devices use a proxy server to connect to the internet. Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes may use a proxy server to connect to Kaspersky servers, for example, when updating application modules and databases or when communicating with Kaspersky Security Network and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response (KATA).

The entry field and button are available if the Use user name and password check box is selected. |
