Introduction
This document describes the Umbrella component version 3.0 update; however, updating the 'allow list' can be necessary.
Purpose
Umbrella has recently upgraded its Roaming Client to version 3.0, which included numerous under-the-hood updates. One of these updates involved a name change to one of the key components used, which can result in organizations needing to update their firewall or anti-virus allow lists.
As per the Advanced section in Appendix A – Status, States, and Functionality, these processes can need to be added to the 'allow list' of any endpoint Firewall/Antivirus programs in order to ensure full functionality:
- ERCService.exe
- ERCInterface.exe (if the GUI was installed)
- dnscryptproxy.exe (this is new as of version 3.0 of the Umbrella Roaming Client for Windows, and replaces dnscrypt-proxy)
The process to accomplish this will vary depending on your endpoint software. See the documentation of your endpoint software for how to add a program to the allow list (also sometimes called an 'exception list' or 'whitelist').
