Apache HTTP Proxy
|
Apache HTTP Proxy users ESET distributes ESET Bridge as a Proxy component (replacing the Apache HTTP Proxy). Apache HTTP Proxy is functional but has reached Limited Support. If you use Apache HTTP Proxy, we recommend migrating to ESET Bridge. ESET Bridge is included in the ESET PROTECT On-Prem All-in-one installer, or you can download it as a standalone installer from the ESET download site. |
Proxy configuration file
Linux and Windows store the Apache configuration files at different locations, see the usual location in the table below.
Operating system |
Configuration files |
|---|---|
Windows |
C:\Program Files\Apache HTTP Proxy\conf\httpd.conf |
Linux (Debian-based) |
/etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf |
Virtual Appliance (Linux) |
/etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy.conf |
Proxy chaining
You can set up more supported forward proxies to work in the chain. Add ProxyRemote * AddressOfNextProxy to your proxy configuration. All proxies that are connecting to next proxy need to have the setting.
Example, where 10.1.1.2 is the address of the next proxy:
ProxyRemote * http://10.1.1.2:3128
To apply the new configuration, restart the proxy service.
Third-party proxies (non-Apache)
Other forward proxy solutions are not supported by ESET. Under certain conditions, other proxies may work, but ESET does not provide configuration or support for these scenarios.
Troubleshooting
To get detailed logs from your proxy, change / add the parameter LogLevel debug in your proxy configuration and restart the proxy service. You can use logs to look for the problem or provide them to ESET Support for further assistance.

We highly recommend that you use a Proxy for caching responses from ESET servers, especially for users with a high number of client machines (hundreds or more), since using a Proxy can save significant network traffic. You can exclude selected folders and processes to decrease the number of submitted files and improve the overall performance. |
