If you employ a proxy server for internet connectivity, you can configure the Manager or your devices to connect to that server for proxy service. This is necessary if you want to download updates directly to Manager from the update server or if you wish to download host reputation and country of origin information during integration with IP Reputation.
The Manager supports application-level HTTP/HTTPS proxies, such as Squid, iPlanet, Microsoft Proxy Server, and Microsoft ISA.
Note
To use Microsoft ISA, you must configure this proxy server with basic authentication. Trellix IPS does not support Microsoft ISA during NTLM (Microsoft LAN Manager) authentication.
Note
SOCKS, a network-level proxy, is not currently supported by Trellix IPS.
Follow this procedure to specify your proxy server:
Task
-
Select
Manager → <Admin Domain> → Setup → Proxy Server.
The Proxy Server page is displayed.

- Enter the Proxy Server Name or IP Address. This can be either IPv4 or IPv6 address.
- Enter the Proxy Port of your proxy server.
- Enter User Name and Password.
- Provide the appropriate URL. You may test to ensure that the connection works by entering a Test URL and clicking Test Connection.
-
Click
Save to save your settings.
When the Manager or the device makes a successful connection, it displays a message indicating that the proxy server settings are valid.
