Gateway

Configure gateway server and client settings to manage connections to peer nodes, and run related diagnostics

The Gateway panels contains settings determining how the node connects to peer nodes by either acting as a server or client. The tunnels created by these connections are the foundation for the underlay network that enables overlay services like site-to-site VPN and L4 proxy services. Additionally, the Diagnostics page can be of use troubleshooting connectivity issues if layer 4 connectivity has already been confirmed.

Global Settings

The header bar contains settings that apply to both the node’s client and server functionality.

Gateway Troubleshooting Tool

The Troubleshoot Gateway Traffic tool allows you to inspect live diagnostic messages about traffic between this node and its configured peers.
