We have a proxy server, and I set up this in administrative console, but on proxy I don’t see any requests

Please help me solve this problem if you know how I can fix this issue

It seems you have some DNS problems in your setup:

Hi cfi!
Thanks a lot for your answer!!!

But if we using proxy, proxy is resolving dns name, and for this request from server must going to proxy, but we don’t see any requests to proxy from appliance

Earlier I also had this problem when installing and testing openvas on centOS 7, and I solved this problem setting up proxy for rsync (export RSYNC_PROXY=«10. . .*: ****»

There is NO proxy support for the GCF on the GCE … only the GSF does support proxies ! You either use a uncoordinated installation or something other is broken with your setup.
