If you will install Aurora Focus, add registry entries on the Windows device

On Windows devices, you must add two registry entries:
  • The first entry configures Aurora Protect Desktop and Aurora Focus to use the CylanceHYBRID proxy server, running on port 8888. The CylanceHYBRID application uses a proxy server to help with communication between Aurora Focus devices and the CylanceHYBRID console.
  • The second entry disables the Aurora Focus cloud fallback feature. By default, Aurora Focus attempts to communicate directly with the Cylance cloud when a proxy connection is not available.
Note: You may need to run the command prompt as an administrator.
  1. On the device, open a command prompt.
  2. To configure Aurora Protect Desktop and Aurora Focus to use the CylanceHYBRID proxy server, running on port 8888, type the following command:

    reg add HKLM\software\Cylance\Desktop /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d http://CylanceHYBRID FQDN:8888 /f

    Use http:// and port 8888 in the command.

  3. Press Enter. This adds your CylanceHYBRID application information that is used when Aurora Protect Desktop and Aurora Focus are installed.
  4. To disable the Aurora Focus cloud fallback feature, type the following command:
    reg add HKLM\software\Cylance\Optics /v DisableProxyBypass /t REG_SZ /d True /f
    Note: If this key is present, the Aurora Focus agent will always attempt to establish a connection through the configured proxy server.
  5. Close the command prompt.
