For Windows users, in order to run the install script, you will need to ensure your execution policy allows for the execution of scripts.
You can check by executing the following command in Powershell
Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
If the ExecutionPolicy is set to AllSigned or RemoteSigned for LocalMachine, let's UnBlock it for the script installation by adding the UnBlock command to the installation one-liner
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; Invoke-WebRequest https://agent.armor.com/latest/armor_agent.ps1 -outfile armor_agent.ps1 ; Unblock-File -Path .\armor_agent.ps1 ; .\armor_agent.ps1 -license 1AAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA -region us-west

Firewall Rules
This topic only applies to Armor Anywhere users.
The following ports will need to be opened for each server registered with Armor.
Armor Anywhere Agent Services
Traffic | Service | Port | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
Outbound | Armor Agent |
|
|
Outbound* | Malware Protection, FIM, IDS |
|
DNS resolves these URLs:
|
Outbound (for Rackspace users) | Malware Protection, FIM, IDS |
|
DNS resolves these URLs:
|
Outbound | Vulnerability Scanning |
|
|
Outbound | Log Management (Filebeat / Winlogbeat) |
|
|
*for Armor Direct or Armor Partner customers
For Log Relay, the following additional ports will need to be opened for each server registered with Armor.
Log Relay Services
Traffic | Service | Port | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
Inbound | Log Relay (Logstash) |
|
|
Outbound | Log Relay (Armor's logging service (ELK)) |
|
|
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.
