To verify connectivity to an Armor service endpoint, use the telnet command.
The following example tests connectivity to api.armor.com over 443/tcp:
telnet 75.2.84.73 443
For Windows systems without the telnet feature installed, you can also use PowerShell:
new-object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient('75.2.84.73', 443)
Remove Anti-Virus Software
If you intend to use the Anti-Virus module, you must remove any previously installed anti-virus software, such as Trend Micro, SentinelOne, McAfee, etc.
Afterwards, you must reboot your system.
After you install the agent, Armor recommends that you test the connection for each configured firewall rule.
