Custom installation
Custom installation mode is designed for experienced users who want to modify advanced settings during the installation process. Following are settings you can modify:
•Program Components
ESET Endpoint Security for macOS allows you to install the product without some of its core components (for example, Web and Email protection). Deselect the check box next to a product component to remove it from the installation.
•Proxy Server
If you are using a proxy server, select I use a proxy server to define its parameters. In the next window, enter the IP address or URL of your proxy server in the Address field. In the Port field, specify the port where the proxy server accepts connections (3128 by default). If the proxy server requires authentication, type a valid Username and Password to grant access to the proxy server. If you do not use a proxy server, select I do not use a proxy server. If you are not sure whether you use a proxy server, you can use your current system settings by selecting Use system settings (Recommended).
•Privileges
You can define privileged users or groups that can edit the program settings. From the list of users on the left, select the users and Add them to the Privileged Users list. To display all system users, select Show all users. If you leave the Privileged Users list empty, all users are considered privileged.
