Hello ,

 

when it is used the comfort client? ONLY when I use AntiVirus profile? Or If I use another profile like IPS it is used too?

I mean if I activate comfort client in a protocol option profile and apply it to a FW policy ... this comfort client is active

only If I apply AV to the policy? or If I apply IPS is active too?

 

The doubt is when it is active...

Thank you!

Regards

Hi Kamarale

If I remember well, comfort client is useful when the AV is scanning a file in proxy mode. This is useful to avoid client timeout.

I don't think this has something to do with IPS.
