About Proxy Settings

The Endpoint Application Control server downloads updates and licensing information from the Internet. If a proxy server handles Internet traffic on your network, configure proxy settings.

Endpoint Application Control supports the following proxy servers:

Proxy Support	Details
Servers	Microsoft Server 2008 proxy server
	Microsoft Server 2012 proxy server
	Squid 3.3 or later
Protocols	HTTP 1.1 or later
Protocols	SOCKS, SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, or SOCKS5

Important:

If you install Endpoint Application Control server on a pure IPv6 endpoint, your network must allow the Endpoint Application Control server to communicate with IPv4 addresses on the Internet to connect to Trend Micro services such as ActiveUpdate, Online Registration, and the Certified Safe Software Service. Use a dual-stack proxy server to convert between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. Position the proxy server between the Endpoint Application Control server endpoint and the Internet.

To learn about installing Endpoint Application Control server on a pure IPv6 endpoint, see IPv6 Considerations.
