ESET Staff Patrik 3 Posted January 3, 2019 ESET Staff Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hello, these conection are not performed by ESMC, but by ESET HTTP Proxy (which is installed by default on the same server like ESMC) on behalf of EES/EEA 7. These requests pull incremental updates of URL/File blacklists used on endpoints. Older versions made these requests every 20 minutes, but every one pulled the same data, what put unnecessary burden to customers network. In new endpoints proxy cache is used, so only first endpoint pulls the data from ESET and subsequent endpoints pull most of the data only from proxy cache. Only the last - most recently changed part of data needs to be pulled from ESET servers. Cheers, Patrik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
