Kaspersky Standard | Plus | Premium

Preset configuration files

After the initial configuration, the application creates the following configuration files:

  • /var/opt/kaspersky/kfl/common/agreements.ini

    The agreements.ini configuration file contains settings related to the End User License Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

  • /var/opt/kaspersky/kfl/common/kfl.ini

    The kfl.ini configuration file contains the settings described in the following table.

If necessary, you can edit the values of the settings in these files.

The default values in these files should be changed only under the supervision of Technical Support specialists and in accordance with their instructions.

Settings in the kfl.ini configuration file

Setting

Description

Values

The [General] section contains the following settings:

Locale

The locale used for texts (events, notifications, task results, and others).

The locale of the application interface and the command line interface depends on the value of the LANG environment variable. If a locale that is not supported by the Kaspersky application is specified in the LANG environment variable, the application interface and the command line interface are displayed in English.

The locale in the format specified by RFC 3066.

If the Locale setting is not specified, the operating system locale is used. If the application fails to determine the operating system localization language or the operating system localization is not supported, the default value will be used – en_US.utf8.

PackageType

Format of the installed application package.

This setting does not affect the operation of the application. The value of the setting is filled in automatically during initial application configuration.

rpm – an RPM package is installed.

deb – a DEB package is installed.

true/yes (default value) — display information in application trace files that may contain personal data.

false/no (default value) — do not display information that may contain personal data in trace files.

AsyncTraces

Enables asynchronous tracing, in which information is logged to trace files in asynchronously.

true/yes – enable asynchronous tracing.

false/no (default value) – do not enable asynchronous tracing.

CoreDumps

The value of the setting is filled in automatically during installation of the application.

SocketPath

Path to a socket for a remote connection used, for example, by the application interface and the kfl-control utility.

Default value: /var/run/bl4control.

MaxInotifyWatches

Limit on the number of subscriptions to changes in files and directories (user watches) in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches.

Default value: 50.

ExecArgMax

Number of arguments that the application captures from the exec call.

Default value: 20.

AdditionalDNSLookup

Indicates use of a public DNS.

If there are errors accessing servers through the system DNS, the application uses a public DNS. This is needed for updating application databases and maintaining device security. The application will use the following public DNSes in this order:

  • Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8).
  • Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1).
  • Alibaba Cloud DNS (223.6.6.6).
  • Quad9 DNS (9.9.9.9).
  • CleanBrowsing (185.228.168.168).

true/yes – Use a public DNS to access Kaspersky servers.

false/no (default value) – Do not use a public DNS to access Kaspersky servers.

The application's requests may contain domain addresses and the user's external IP address, since the application establishes a TCP/UDP connection with the DNS server. This information is necessary, for example, to check the certificate of a web resource when interacting via HTTPS. If the application is using a public DNS server, data processing rules are governed by the Privacy Policy of the corresponding service. If you need to block the application from using a public DNS server, contact Technical Support for a private patch.

The [Network] section contains the following settings:

WtpFwMark

A mark in the iptables rules for forwarding traffic to the application for processing by Web Threat Protection component. You may need to change this mark if a device with the application runs other software that uses the ninth bit of the TCP packet mask, and a conflict occurs.

A decimal value or hexadecimal number with the prefix 0x.

Default value: 0x100.

BypassFwMark

A mark used to indicate packets created or scanned by the application, so that the application does not scan them again.

A decimal value or hexadecimal number with the prefix 0x.

Default value: 0x400.

BypassNFlogMark

A mark used to indicate packages created or scanned by the application to prevent them from being logged by the iptable utility.

A decimal value or hexadecimal number with the prefix 0x.
