Bootloop 0 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 We've been installing ESET for a lot of our clients and it seems the default install blocks all incoming/outgoing network traffic. The issue was found during the recent installs when RDP connections were failing although RDP was enabled within the ESET firewall rules. Completely disabling 'Network protection' allows traffic and connections to the machines. The package is the standard download from ESET and then licensed using a Corp login (Email/password) then assigning the license. The latest problem was when a colleague installed on a remote server then lost all connection. I accessed the server locally and the ESET was sat on the final setup screen after install. Is there anyway we can set a policy per license to prevent this from happening? I've found various posts regarding this dating back 2 years with no firm solution.

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted February 20, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2019 If ESET is installed through an RDP session, the firewall is disabled to prevent the connection from being disconnected. In case of connection issues when pausing the firewall resolve the issue, please carry on as follows: - enable advanced network protection logging in the advanced setup -> tools -> diagnostics - reproduce the issue (ideally restart the system first) - disable logging - gather logs with ESET Log Collector and provide us with the generated zip file.

Bootloop 0 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 "..If ESET is installed through an RDP session, the firewall is disabled to prevent the connection from being disconnected.." This is not the case - unless the incorrect installer may have caused this - as soon as the install completed the RDP session was dropped. On the laptops incoming RDP sessions were not connecting even though in the ESET config port 3389 was open via svchost.exe Once I disabled the Network Protection manually RDP sessions were able to get through. I'll get the settings changed as you suggest, but this will require another on-site visit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
