Gateway Client Settings

Configure client settings

3 minute read

Settings on this page determine how a node’s client connection to gateway peers behave.

Settings

Field Name	Description
Connectivity to Public Gateways	Options are `Allowed` or `Denied`. If set to `Denied` this will cause the node to not attempt connections to public gateways. This might be desired if you want the node to only connect to configured private gateways. Or if you have private gateways that do not need to connect to the public gateways in your organization.

The settings below require the node to be running the April 2025 major appliance release or later. Prior versions only support enabled or disabled.

Field Name	Description
Monitor Hops to Gateway Servers	Determines if the node will attempt to monitor hops to gateway peers. The possible values are: Always - The node will attempt to monitor hops to all gateway peers. Only when peer requests - The node will only attempt to monitor hops to gateway peers that request it. This is the default state. Never - The node will never attempt to monitor hops to gateway peers, even if peers request it.
Monitor Hops Interval	The interval time, in seconds, between gathering hop monitoring data. Default is 20s.
Support Monitor Hops Resets	Determines if the node will send reset (RST) packets for the TCP connections it attempts. Doing so reduces, but does not eliminate the number of resets seen on the WAN interface. Enabled - The node will send reset packets. This is the default state. Disabled - The node will not send reset packets.
Monitor Hops SYN Payload Size	Determines the size of the TCP SYN payload sent. By default the payload is 0. Can be set between 0 and 1440. Recommended max is the lower of 1440 or the WAN MTU minus 60 bytes.

Allows you to define alternate paths to a gateway server

Field Name	Description
Status	Enabled - The node will attempt to build and utilize the additional path. Disabled - The node will not build the additional path.
Name	A name for the path.
Gateway Node	Gateway for which the path is applicable.
Host IP	Destination IP address for the path.
Host Port	Destination port for the path.
Local IP	Use this local IP as the source IP for the connection to the gateway.
Use as Default	True - Will not attempt to connect to the configured Gateway Node using the WAN interface IP and Default Gateway path. False - Will attempt to connect to the Gateway node using both this defined path and the WAN Interface IP and Default Gateway path.
