itman 1,538 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Eset added a new Win service titled "Eset Communication Forwarding Service." Edited April 5 by itman micasayyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWT 0 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I'm coming from the link shown where another member has asked the same question and is directed here by the admin Macros saying it answered here. So where or even how is it answered here? Could we get an actual explanation as to it's function for some transparency? I am able to disable the service with no observable ill effects but still I would like to know it's purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWT 0 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Well I'd say based on the silence from ESET on this questionable network service, it's better left disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 4,694 Posted May 3 Administrators Share Posted May 3 It's an essential service that must not be disabled. This new service will be handling future external communication (like ECP for licensing) and will forward messages between gRPC and our internal RPC in the future versions of the communication protocol.

itman 1,538 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) 2 hours ago, Marcos said: will forward messages between gRPC and our internal RPC For those who don't know what gRPC is; Quote gRPC (gRPC Remote Procedure Calls[2]) is a cross-platform open source high performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework. gRPC was initially created by Google, which used a single general-purpose RPC infrastructure called Stubby to connect the large number of microservices running within and across its data centers from about 2001.[3] In March 2015, Google decided to build the next version of Stubby and make it open source. The result was gRPC, which is now used in many organizations aside from Google to power use cases from microservices to the “last mile” of computing (mobile, web, and Internet of Things). It uses HTTP/2 for transport, Protocol Buffers as the interface description language, and provides features such as authentication, bidirectional streaming and flow control, blocking or nonblocking bindings, and cancellation and timeouts. It generates cross-platform client and server bindings for many languages. Most common usage scenarios include connecting services in a microservices style architecture, or connecting mobile device clients to backend services.[4] gRPC's complex use of HTTP/2 makes it impossible to implement a gRPC client in the browser, instead requiring a proxy.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRPC Edited May 3 by itman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does temporarily disabling protocol filtering in the advanced setup make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
