Qualys Gateway Service (QGS) is a Qualys-developed packaged virtual appliance that provides proxy services for Qualys Cloud Agent deployments that require proxy connectivity to connect agents to Qualys Cloud Platforms.
Qualys Gateway Service is managed using a new module user interface on the Qualys platform. You can create, register, monitor, and manage QGS virtual appliance deployments from this interface.
The QGS virtual appliance only provides proxy services for Cloud Agent deployments.
Refer to the Qualys Gateway Service User Guide for detailed instructions on setup and features.
- A virtual appliance image is downloaded, registered, and managed from the Qualys platform user interface using the QGS module.
- Support any Cloud Agent version that supports HTTP/HTTPS proxy (all agents since 2016).
- Explicit forward proxy.
- SSL/TLS pass-through bypass.
- Connection Security: The QGS proxy only will provide connections to the Qualys platform from where it is registered. Using QGS to proxy connections to any other destination is impossible.
- Enabling Allowed Domains: We have added an option that will help you to allow traffic for required domains. Default Domains Allowed- qualys.eu, qualys.ca, qualys.com, qualys.in
