The Agent is the edge component of EdgeGuard. It runs alongside NGINX on each server, processes security decisions via a Unix socket, caches configuration locally, and communicates securely with the Central server using mutual TLS.


An Agent can contain one or multiple tenants. If a tenant’s domain or alias matches a reverse proxy service domain, the Agent automatically links the tenant to that domain. You can verify which reverse proxy service domains are associated with each tenant in Web services -> Services -> EdgeGuard column.
