connections to file-rep.iaas.checkpoint.com:443

[Wolfgang]

After deploying Harmony Endpoint in an environment with internet access only with proxy we are facing CPU utilization problems on the proxy environment.

From the proxy logs we see the system is flooded with connections to "file-rep.iaas.checkpoint.com" from all clients all the times. We are using a supernode in the environment but these connections are always seen via the proxy. Around 80% of all internet traffic is regarding this connections. sk116590 states this connections are for ThreatEmulationBlade

Any chance to stop this or get working not via the proxy but the supernode?

[Chris_Atkinson]

Are you implying the super node also doesn't rely on the proxy for its Internet access?

[Wolfgang]

Yes, the supernode has connectivity to the Cloud without the proxy. All these connections we can see on the proxy are only from the clients with installed EndPoint software.
