Update Server Clients proxy address

Hi Scoutt,

Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

Let me know if updating the settings on the "General Settings > Proxy Configuration" page works for you. Details on connection retries are also shown on this page.

Hello Qoosh,

We do not currently use that feature. We install the server client command line and nothing else.

Are you referring to the Sophos Linux Sensor, which is not Central-managed?

No sir, these are windows servers. We only do this for servers as we don't have to do the users as they have proxy access already. Servers do not unless we tell them.

I'm actually looking and I don't think they use that command line switch. We do use a message relay but didn't think it got updates from that, could it be? If the server is not going out our proxy then how do they get updated?

For a server to have the Message Relay component deployed it is necessary for the Update Cache component to also be deployed. In the UI when initially deploying these features, MR will be greyed out until UC is selected. 

This is likely how your devices are receiving updates.

Thanks, come to think of it, I think we use the proxyaddress switch just on install, then it's not used anymore. So nothing to worry about on my end then. lol I guess it just helps thinking out loud sometimes lol
