Genetec™ Update Service (GUS) requires an internet connection. However, to reduce the potential impact of a compromised system, it is best if the machine that hosts the Directory role is not the machine accessing the internet.

What you should know

Any Genetec™ Server on which GUS is configured can act as a proxy for a different GUS within the system.

In this scenario, the GUS installed on the main server requires a proxy to communicate with the machine that has internet access.
