ESET PROTECT Cloud users with ESET Vulnerability & Patch Management ESET Bridge blocks the Patch Management network traffic by default. ESET Bridge does not affect the reporting of vulnerabilities. To enable the Patch Management network traffic, disable the Access Control List (ACL) rules in the ESET Bridge configuration file: 1.Open the ESET Bridge configuration restrict.conf.template file in a text editor: oWindows: C:\ProgramData\ESET\Bridge\Proxies\Nginx\Conf\restrict.conf.template oLinux: /var/opt/eset/bridge/nginx/conf/restrict.conf.template 2.Change set $valid_host 0; to set $valid_host 1;. 3.Save the restrict.conf.template file. 4.Restart the ESET Bridge service. Disabling ACL rules allows the routing of all network traffic via ESET Bridge (ESET Bridge becomes an open proxy). |
