[QUOTE="nickoftime, post: 1008137, member: 5940"] Looks like you are perfectly accurate. I found this bit, slightly buried in their [URL='https://support.eset.com/en/kb5833-manage-protocolssltls-filtering-in-eset-windows-home-products']online documentation[/URL]: "[I]ESET products are designed to detect threats at the application level regardless of network filtering settings, however for the most secure configuration, we recommend leaving SSL/TLS protocol filtering enabled whenever possible[/I]." I'll post back if I find out more, about ESET or others on this matter. I do not like this ambiguous dilemma ("allow us to decrypt all your traffic, or live with reduced security") so I'll keep investigating.
