Gateway Client Settings

Configure client settings

  2 minute read  

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

Settings

Field NameDescription
UDP Enabled

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.
Monitor Network Hops to PeersWhether to monitor latency to peers through this gateway. This can have a performance impact and is not recommended for high-traffic gateways.
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.
