About Network Connectors
Private networks use Network Connectors to interface with CloudConnexa so that services and applications reachable by that network can be accessed. Connectors establish a connection to CloudConnexa that is meant to stay always ON.
A Network Connector connects a private network to CloudConnexa. Since it connects two networks (i.e., the CloudConnexa WPC and your private network), it must act as a router. The Connector's OpenVPN connection profile can be used with an OpenVPN-compatible hardware router or installed on a general-purpose computing device or virtual machine configured to act as a software router.
A Network Connector is an unattended Client application that is always connected to CloudConnexa for the purpose of:
Providing inbound access from the CloudConnexa WPC to the private network based on the private and public applications, routes, and IP Services configured as being reachable from that private network.
If the private network is configured to act as an Internet Gateway, providing inbound access to Internet traffic from the WPC to the private network
Providing outbound access to devices on the private network to WPC
A Network Connector can use IPsec and OpenVPN protocols.
