I have some machines that aren't on the network and I need them to go out to the internet and get updates. What is the HTTP address for sophos' update site? :8925

HI,

When you install using the standalone installer of SAV, the option is listed as "Sophos". If you have a managed install you can declare the secondary location in the SEC policy to be "Sophos" so you never really see the URL.

However when the policy gets to the client: 
 \ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Config\iconn.cfg 
 is configured in the relevant primary or seconday location section to be:

UseSophos = 1

ConnectionAddress = http://es-web.sophos.com/update/ 
 So " http://es-web.sophos.com/update/ " should be the address, however that is only part of it. When AutoUpdate updates it appends on a string from the file: 
 \ProgramData\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Config\TopLevelCatalogue.dat 
 This file should contain the line: 
 sdds.esc95 
 on a machine which is configured to download 9.5 versions. 
 Hope this helps, 
 Jak
