Preventing Threats Distributing over Network |
On the tab, you can enable the network connection monitor SpIDer Gate to check traffic transmitted via secure connections that use SSL- and TLS-based protocols. Figure 62. Secure connections checking configuration tab Configuring check of protected connections For this, select the check box. To disable checks of protected traffic, clear the check box.
To ensure correct check of the traffic, transmitted via protected network connections, export the special Dr.Web certificate to a file and then manually add it to the list of trusted application certificates that use protected connections. Such applications are primarily web browsers and mail clients. Otherwise, if Dr.Web certificate is not added to the trusted list, data will be displayed incorrectly if received from the website accessible via HTTPS (for example, from online banking websites, web interfaces of mail servers). If the certificate of Dr.Web is not added to the trusted certificate list of the mail client, authorization on mail servers that use protected protocols (such as SMTPS) for data transfer will fail. To export Dr.Web certificate to the file, click the button and in the appeared window specify where to save the file. Its default name is SpIDer Gate Trusted Root Certificate.pem, but you can change it if required. Then the saved file of the Dr.Web certificate is manually added to the trusted certificate lists of those applications which fail when trying to establish protected connections. You need to add the certificate only once for an application. If you clear and then select the check box again on the setting page, you will not need to save Dr.Web certificate once again and add it to the list of trusted certificates.
