[KB3292] Enable or disable URL addresses using HTTPS from behind an ESET proxy server in ESET Windows home and small office products

Issue

Only use this process if instructed by ESET Technical Support

Importing the .xml file below will delete any current URL list management configurations (list of excluded, blocked and allowed addresses) in ESET Windows home and small office products.

Solution

  1. Download the appropriate .zip file. When the download is complete, navigate to the file, right-click it and select Extract all from the context menu.

    All SSL communication will be blocked

    If the "enable_http_block_connect_method" file is imported, all SSL communication going through the proxy server will be blocked regardless of any URL list management configurations. When trying to connect to such a site, the browser will show an error message.

  1. Open the main program window of your ESET Windows product.

  2. Click Setup → Import/Export settings.
