Constrain the choice of Internet Gateways for User Groups, Networks, and Hosts
You can specify which Internet Gateways you want to use from the multiple available per User Group, Network, and Host.
When Split Tunnel is OFF for a connected client, all internet traffic from that connected client arrives at the WPC. The WPC needs a connected network to act as an Internet Gateway. The Network set as an Internet Gateway indicates to the WPC that traffic destined for the Internet can be routed to that network. Refer to Make a Network act as an Internet Gateway.
Multiple networks can serve as Internet Gateways. CloudConnexa will select the route to the Internet Gateway based on the Region that is being used by the source. For example, you have connected two networks and marked them as Internet Gateways. One of your Internet Gateway Networks uses the San Jose Region, while the other uses Chicago. Internet traffic from a remote worker connected to Los Angeles will be routed via San Jose, and traffic from a remote worker connected to Ashburn, VA, will be routed via Chicago. The routing logic is not just based on geographic proximity but considers network characteristics too.
You can override the default routing of CloudConnexa by selecting specific Internet Gateways to route the internet traffic of User Groups, Networks, and Hosts. You can choose to do this for one or more of the reasons below:
Customize your company’s needs for Internet traffic control based on teams, departments, networks, and other criteria to make the Internet Gateway selection more deterministic.
Direct users, devices, and/or networks to unique Internet Gateways based on their bandwidth consumption for efficient load distribution.
Match needs with Internet Gateway capabilities by specifying Internet Gateway networks for specific user groups and networks based on different security controls (e.g., devices, operating systems)
You can select one or more Internet Gateways per User Group, Network, or Host using the Internet Access configuration. If multiple Internet Gateways are chosen or the Internet Gateway network has multiple Connectors, CloudConnexa's default smart routing algorithm will choose the most optimum route among all the options available. To select specific Internet Gateways for User Groups, Networks, and Hosts, follow the steps below:
Navigate to Access > Internet.
Based on the entity whose internet access needs to be changed, select one of the three tabs: User Groups, Networks, or Hosts.
Use the filters or search to help narrow down the displayed list.
Click on the edit (pencil)
icon next to the entry that needs to be changed.Expand the Internet Gateway (Egress) drop-down to see a list of available Internet Gateways.
Uncheck the All Internet Gateways option if active.
Select one or more of the Internet Gateways from the drop-down list.
Click Update Internet Access.
