When a VIPRE Business Console is deploying Agents to systems outside of its local network, communication can be setup to allow contact across the internet. Unlike Roaming Agents, Advanced Remote Agents are able to communicate directly with the console as opposed to using the Roaming Service to retain contact.
This is known as a 'WAN-Deployment' and requires a bit more configuration:
- Firewalls / Routers need to be configured to allow communication
- A Policy needs to be configured with the communication Information
- An Installation Package can be created for distribution
- Forward the following ports to the system hosting the VIPRE Console:
- 18082: Agent communication and updates
- 8123: Patch management and updates
- 18090 Hyper-V agent communications
- Ensure SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) Traffic is allowed
