Nazareno Posted August 16, 2017 ID:1154012 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) I wanted to suggest that the antivirus scan all VPN connections (I mean web protection for browsers). Well that's my suggestion for the new version of the product. Greetings. Edited August 16, 2017 by Solitario Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted August 16, 2017 ID:1154188 Share Posted August 16, 2017 What do you mean by that exactly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazareno Posted August 16, 2017 Author ID:1154194 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Sorry for my english, I'm using the google translate. I say that v3 will analyze web pages even under a vpn. Thank you. Greetings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted August 16, 2017 ID:1154214 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Doesn't Malwarebytes already do that? Also, I think you can configure Malwarebytes to work with a proxy and/or VPN (I'm not home at the moment so I cannot verify). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazareno Posted August 16, 2017 Author ID:1154223 Share Posted August 16, 2017 For example with Opera's mini-VPN does not work antivirus web protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted August 16, 2017 ID:1154254 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Unfortunately I don't think it's possible for our web blocking feature to work with a VPN because the way we detect malicious connections is through identifying the server being connected to and checking it against our block list/database. When using a VPN, the only server we can see is that of the VPN itself since all browsing would go through the VPN provider's servers so the only way for us to detect the connections to malicious sites at that point would be for us to be installed on the VPN provider's servers which is unfortunately not possible without the VPN provider installing Malwarebytes on their VPN servers.

Nazareno Posted August 17, 2017 Author ID:1154343 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Not even for the integrated vpn that comes with opera? Nod32 analyzes web pages under that vpn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted August 17, 2017 ID:1154355 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Antivirus uses MiTM in order to inspect web traffic (by adding their own certificates on the system). This isn't something Malwarebytes does. It can also lead to security issues and various problems. Edited August 17, 2017 by Aura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, we do not install our own security certificates nor do we modify any existing ones (I've noticed Kaspersky does this and it actually caused problems for me recently when I was testing their product forcing me to turn off that particular protection/feature). It is likely that the best we could do would be to develop a plugin that installs within the web browsers for a system, however we've avoided that approach in the past because it isn't universal/compatible with all systems/browsers etc. and doesn't account for malicious traffic that might occur outside of the browser.

Nazareno Posted August 22, 2017 Author ID:1155830 Share Posted August 22, 2017 And you can not have the plugin for some browsers like the Opera and apart the standard Web protection? Thanks a lot. Best regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
