ESET Bridge introduction
ESET Bridge is an ESET application based on the open-source Nginx software that was adjusted to meet the needs of ESET security applications and services.
You can use ESET Bridge with ESET PROTECT On-Prem or the cloud ESET PROTECT. ESET distributes ESET Bridge with ESET PROTECT On-Prem as a proxy component (replacing the former Apache HTTP Proxy). See the comparison of ESET Bridge and Apache HTTP Proxy.
You can connect up to 10,000 computers to ESET PROTECT On-Prem using ESET Bridge.
You can use ESET Bridge with ESET PROTECT On-Prem to:
•Cache and distribute updates to client computers and installation packages to ESET Management Agent.
•Forward communication from ESET Management Agents to ESET PROTECT Server in environments where Agent machines cannot reach the Server directly.
•HTTPS traffic caching—ESET Bridge can decrypt and cache HTTPS traffic.
•Proxy chaining—ESET Bridge can forward the traffic to a remote proxy and cache data.
•Run the offline repository—You can use ESET Bridge as an HTTP server for offline repository.
