Forwarding of communication between ESET Management Agents and ESET PROTECT Server

When correctly configured, you can use ESET Bridge to collect and forward data from ESET PROTECT components in a remote location. You can use one proxy solution for caching updates (we recommend using ESET Bridge) and another proxy for Agent-Server communication. You can use ESET Bridge for both functions simultaneously, but we do not recommend this setup for networks with more than 10,000 client machines per proxy machine. We recommend using a dedicated ESET Bridge server in enterprise environments (more than 1,000 managed computers).

ESET PROTECT On-Prem uses ESET Bridge as a Proxy component. After a proper configuration of the ESET Bridge Policy and ESET Management Agent Policy, ESET Bridge can act as a forward proxy for ESET Management Agents in a remote location.
