Configuring Proxy Settings for Devices

This Article Applies to:

Avast Business On-Premise Console

If your network uses proxies for end devices, you will need to configure the proxy settings in the policies assigned to the devices behind a proxy.

Proxy settings apply to Windows workstations and servers only. For macOS devices in the On-Premise Console, these settings will only be used for the agent, as Antivirus for macOS does not support these settings. If you want to install/manage the Antivirus service for macOS when using a proxy server, you will need to create a bypass.

To configure proxy settings for your devices:

Go to the Policies page
Open the desired policy
Select the OS you are adding proxy settings for
Go to the General Settings tab
Scroll down to the Proxy settings section

From the drop-down menu, choose between HTTP and SOCKS v4 proxy

Enter the IP address (127.0.0.1 by default) and port (8080 by default) for your proxy
- If desired, you can bypass proxy server for local addresses by ticking the respective checkbox (unticked by default).

For HTTP proxies, choose whether an authentication method will be used (if yes, you will also need to enter the username and password):
- No authentication
- Basic authentication (plaintext)
- Windows integrated authentication (NTLM)
