Title: clamav (SOLVED)
Post by: GDixon on November 23, 2018, 07:34:12 am

Hi,

Just so I am clear on this.

To use clamav to scan live I would need to use a proxy server located on a different system correct? This would be using the fresh clam definitions and not i-cap.

I have done searches and my old eyes hurt from the reading and so far it has not been clear about using clamav to scan and whether theres a need for a separate machine for running the proxy.

Proxy is already preinstalled on OPNsense? You just need C-ICAP plugin and Clamav

Are you asking me if a proxy is pre installed?

And I DO NOT want to use ICAP

ICAP is the protocol for proxy to talk with AV .. how would you like to do this without it?

That was the main question.

Is a proxy that is located on another system and not on OPNsense box required?

Can I ask why you do not want to use ICAP?

this is my question.

My question isn't why I don't want to use icap for now. I may get around to using icap and a proxy but for now I want to keep it simple and if using a icap later is the answer due to needing to use a second system just for a proxy for clam then I will use icap.

question is still.

Squid can only talk to ClamAV via ICAP, no matter if Proxy runs on OPNsense or a Linux or whatevery.

Your Proxy, your ICAP or even you ClamAV can run on any system, local or remote, in any combination.

But if you want a virus scanner, you need ICAP.

Now everything clear?

That answered the question, thank you.
