ucchi 0 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Do you know what "ESET Network Protection Proxy" is in the Network settings? Localhost is set as the server address. The environment is ESET 6.10.400.1 / macOS 11.0.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayray4105 0 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) +1 Seems to be needed in order to enable 'web and e-mail' protection. Is this really necessary? Edited November 15, 2020 by rayray4105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 3,803 Posted November 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2020 This is because of the move from kernel extensions to system extensions in Big Sur. It is important that the proxy be connected and the server address set to localhost in order for Web and email protection to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucchi 0 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thank you for your answer. I was relieved to understand the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalis711 0 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The way it works is quite worrying as the proxy can be used by Eset to collect and monitor users' data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 3,803 Posted November 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2020 All antivirus scanners that are compatible with Big Sur must work as local proxies in order to filter network communication. Even before Big Sur http communication was routed through a local proxy. If you don't want ESET or another AV to filter the network communication, disable the firewall and web/email protection (not recommended). Of course, the fact that antivirus scans files or filters network communication does not mean it's spying on you. Network communication is filtered locally and is not router further to ESET's servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreK 0 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 How can this be disabled so I don't get the question for proxy when installing, and without getting any annoying warnings afterwards? We are using VPN connections a lot at work, and this is not working well (not working at all) together with that :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreK 0 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 How can I install without getting warnings that the system is not protected, and without being asked to add proxy. If I disable mail/web protection? Have business endpoint antivirus here, and create installer/profile from the cloud admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexAl 0 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) The next problem with the new proxy setting from Eset is, that it slows down the internet connection (from former about 900 kb/sec to about 180 kb/sec) and that's not funny that's a big bug in my opinion and not an option. So please fix this or Eset will no more be the security software of first choice in the next month.

However, so far no other user has reported such issue. Please open a ticket with your local ESET support and provide: - logs collected with the log collector (https://support.eset.com/en/kb3404) - 2 Wireshark logs, one with ESET and proxy connected when the issue occurs and another one when the proxy is disconnected or ESET is not installed and the issue doesn't occur. The best would be to make the test by downloading the very same bigger file so that the outcome logs could be easily compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander17 0 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have the similar issue on 6.10.460.1 build - YouTube is not playing videos on one laptop (never-ending spinning wheel on ANY video). The only solution which helped me so far is to disconnect ESET Network Protection Proxy from Network Settings and then video starts playing (Proxy automatically reconnects immediately back). This happens on only one laptop - others don't have such issue (although, they running 6.10.400.1 build, not sure, whether it is caused by the latest ESET build). MacOS version is Big Sur on all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted support in our region and they told me that we have to add the server proxy IP to the apple policy , in tools - server proxy , we are now testing this. 2. In which part of the policy for Apple devices can I check about the 443 port ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
