How to bypass an application with Cloud Link

August 02, 2011 • Administrator       
Synopsis

This article describes how to bypass an application so any HTTP requests it makes are not intercepted by Cloud Link.

Article

The default behaviour of Cloud Link is to intercept all web traffic from all applications running on the computer it isinstalled on. There are circumstances where you do not wish to filter a particular application, because it uses a proprietary protocol over HTTP which makes no sense to filter. For example, Skype or anti-virus update program.

To do this, right click on the Cloud Link tray app and select Configuration.

You will be prompted to enter the configuration password (set during installation of Cloud Link):

Click continue and then you will be presented with the Configuration dialog.

Click the Ignored Applications tab.

You can see a list of currently bypassed executables in the "Applications" list. Click Add to add a new one. You should enter the executable filename for the application that you wish to ignore. You can often find these in the Windows Task Manager under Processes.

Click Apply and then OK.
