About Host Connectors
Application servers use Host Connectors to interface with CloudConnexa so that services and applications hosted on them can be accessed. Connectors establish a connection to CloudConnexa that is meant to stay always ON.
Application servers use Host Connectors to interface with CloudConnexa so that services and applications hosted on them can be accessed. Connectors establish a connection to CloudConnexa that is meant to stay always ON. Application servers, or Hosts as they are called in CloudConnexa, use OpenVPN tunnels.
Connectors are OpenVPN protocol-compatible clients that make an outbound connection to a CloudConnexa Region (Point of Presence). They are Connectors because they use the OpenVPN connection profile, and their connection to CloudConnexa is associated with a CloudConnexa Host entity.
A Host Connector does not connect the WPC to a private network and, therefore, cannot be a router. A Host Connector connects an application server (for example, FTP server, remote desktop server, network attached storage system) to the CloudConnexa WPC.
The Host Connector can only provide access to private applications running on the computing device it is installed on and can allow that device access to the WPC.
