I have a Windows 7 machine with the application installed. From "netbios -b -f", I noticed that the PCMonitorSrv.exe process, which is use by Pulseway, is making connection with random ports to random IP. What are these for?

The only connection that belongs to PCMonitorSrv.exe is this one:

 

TCP    192.168.1.100:61897       ip-69.65.49.8.servernap.net:https  ESTABLISHED

 

Pulseway can establish other connections only if you have some ping checks or web site checks defined in the Pulseway Manager.

Hi Chuck,

From the looks of it, Pulseway is connecting to the internet through a transparent proxy. Note that each host it has connected to, the port used is 8888.

We don't recommend putting Pulseway behind open HTTPS proxies as it might expose your Pulseway login credentials.

Regards,

Chris

It must be the proxy.

 

The Pulseway agent does not connect to any other servers whatsoever. Install Pulseway on a different computer that does not use any proxy to check this out.
