swi_service.exe http traffic

jameshink

Hello,

I have just rolled out Sophos across our server farm and have notice that what I believe is the Live Protection service(swi_service.exe) is contacting external ip addresses on port 80 at various times during the day. 

I would like to configure this to use a proxy server if possible but have not been able to work out how?

I have read that there is the utility SavProxy.exe to configure the proxy which I have ran and they appear to be correct. There are no proxy bypasses set and the proxy server name is correctly set to my proxy server. However http traffic is still sent out.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks

James

    Thanks again for replying Christian,

    I can understand that the swi_service would only be acting on a request made by another application but I woul have though it still would have follwed the proxy settings configured? How can we implement a strict firewall policy rule and enable all of the protection features of Sophos when Sophos contacts its cloud servers directly? 

    I think I may have to disable the Sophos Live Protection feature in the Sophos policy for the servers. :smileysad:

    Thanks anyway
