Purpose
Umbrella has recently upgraded our Roaming Client to version 3.0, which included numerous under-the-hood updates. One of these updates involved a name change to one of the key components used, which may result in organizations needing to update their firewall or anti-virus allow lists.
As per the Advanced section in Appendix A – Status, States, and Functionality, the following processes may need to be added to the allow list of any endpoint Firewall / Antivirus programs in order to ensure full functionality:
- ERCService.exe
- ERCInterface.exe (if the GUI was installed)
- dnscryptproxy.exe (This is new as of version 3.0 of the Umbrella Roaming Client for Windows, and replaces dnscrypt-proxy)
The process to do this will vary depending on your endpoint software. Please see the documentation of your endpoint software for how to add a program to the allow list (also sometimes called an exception list or whitelist).
