Configure client settings

  3 minute read  

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

Settings

Gateway Client settings
Field NameDescription
Enable UDP

This settings can be configured on both the gateway server and gateway client sub-panel.

  • On a server, this will determine if the server will listen for UDP tunnel connections on the configured UDP port.
  • On a client, this will determine if the client will attempt to build UDP tunnels to any server with UDP enabled.

UDP tunnels are only attempted if both the client and the server have the UDP Enabled field set to Enabled

Max Egress MbpsThe egress bandwidth limit for the gateway. Connections will be throttled when this limit is reached.
Connectivity to Public GatewaysOptions 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.

Hop Monitoring Settings

Gateway Hop Monitoring settings
Field NameDescription
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 IntervalThe interval time, in seconds, between gathering hop monitoring data.
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 SizeDetermines the size of the TCP SYN payload sent. By default the payload is the smaller of 1440 or the WAN MTU minus 60 bytes. Can be set between 0 and 1440.

Gateway Paths

Allows you to define alternate paths to a gateway server

Field NameDescription
Status
  • Enabled - The node will attempt to build and utilize the additional path.
  • Disabled - The node will not build the additional path.
NameA name for the path.
Gateway NodeGateway for which the path is applicable.
Host IPDestination IP address for the path.
Host PortDestination port for the path.
Local IPUse 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.
