Agent & Extension
How much memory and CPU does DefensX agent consume?
DefensX Agent is a super lightweight agent and does not consume >10MB memory or >%0,1 CPU
Will it slow down my computer?
Our agent does not decrypt traffic on the end-point, which is one of the main reasons for slow-down on computers, so you will not feel any slow-down because of our agent.
What is the query response time for a DNS policy lookup from the cloud?
Every DefensX agent is a relay agent, that’s why a cached DNS lookup is less than 1ms.
How can I change Incognito mode for specific users?
In case you would like to enable incognito mode, you will need to have a separate deployment group.
Policies → End Point Deployments → New Deployment
While deploying the agent, you will need to add specific parameters to your install script. 0 will enable the end-user to use incognito mode, 1 will disable the incognito mode. System Default is 1.

Tip
|
DefensX advanced protections are disabled in incognito mode, we recommend to enable incognito for administrators or expert users. |
In example, following RMM script will deploy DefensX with incognito mode enabled, for only Chrome browser:
msiexec /i DefensXInstaller.msi KEY=<DEPLOYMENT_KEY> ENABLE_LOGON_USER=1 ENABLE_IAM_USER=0 CHROME_DISABLE_PRIVATE_WINDOW=0Similarly following will enable incognito for Chrome and Edge:
msiexec /i DefensXInstaller.msi KEY=<DEPLOYMENT_KEY> ENABLE_LOGON_USER=1 ENABLE_IAM_USER=0 CHROME_DISABLE_PRIVATE_WINDOW=0 EDGE_DISABLE_PRIVATE_WINDOW=0|
Important
|
For the changes to take effect, you may need to restart the web browser by exiting from all the open instances. |
How can I exclude some browsers from the extension installation?
If you want to exclude some browsers from the DefensX extension, you can un-select the related option when installing it through the installer GUI.
To set this option using a RMM script, you need to append ADDLOCAL property [1] to the MSI installation command.
In this case, you need to provide all of the component names which you want to install. Possible component names are:
| Component Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Main DefensX Agent component which includes kernel level DNS protection and embedded DNS over HTTPS server |
|
Enables the Microsoft Edge extension installation |
|
Enables the Google Chrome extension installation |
|
Enables the Mozilla Firefox extension installation |
|
Enables the Chromium extension installation |
|
Enables the Brave extension installation |
|
Enables the Vivaldi extension installation |
