Proxy server settings

Setting

Description

Do not use proxy server

If this option is selected, the application does not use a proxy server.

Specify the proxy server settings

If you select this option the application uses the specified proxy server settings to connect to Kaspersky activation servers, to update sources for databases and application modules, to Kaspersky Security Network, and when verifying website certificates using the Web Threat Protection component.

Address

Field for entering the proxy server's IP address or domain name.

This field is available if the Use the 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 the specified proxy server settings option is selected.

Use proxy server authentication

Enables or disables proxy server authentication using a user name and password.

This check box is available if the Use the 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.

The entry field is available if the Use proxy server authentication 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.

The button is available if the Use proxy server authentication check box is selected.

Use Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for application activation

Enables or disables the use of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server as a proxy server for accessing Kaspersky activation servers. This is necessary when activating the application in an isolated network segment without internet access using an activation code.

If this check box is selected, the application gains access to activation servers via the Administration Server that has internet access.

This check box is cleared by default.
