Enable configuring routes for networks
When Routes Configuration is enabled, you can define custom Routes under the IP Services section of a Network to optimize the routing table pushed to Clients and Connectors.
When Routes Configuration is enabled, you can define custom Routes under the IP Services section of a Network to optimize the routing table pushed to Clients and Connectors.
When you create or update an IP Service, a route for the same subnet is automatically created behind the scenes to push to OpenVPN Clients and Connectors for the OpenVPN tunnel interface. If you want to manually specify the route sent to the OpenVPN clients, enable Routes Configuration. When a subnet of a configured IP Service is fully overlapped by a subnet of the route manually configured by you, CloudConnexa will push the manually configured route to OpenVPN clients. This will allow you to optimize a set of routes pushed to clients by manually defining a route that overlaps subnets of multiple configured IP Services.
Here is an example: You want to connect a private network with a subnet address of 192.168.0.0/28 to CloudConnexa, making a private web server and an FTP server accessible by their IP addresses to all users. You represent the private network by configuring a Network and connecting it to CloudConnexa by using Network Connectors. You then add an IP Service named webapp, allowing only HTTPS for the server IP address of 192.168.0.10. Next, add another IP service named fileapp, allowing only FTP for the server IP address of 192.168.0.12. By configuring these IP Services, implicit routes for the network are created. CloudConnexa is now configured to route traffic destined for 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.12 to this network and will push 192.168.0.10/32 and 192.168.0.12/32 routes for the TUN VPN interface to any connected OpenVPN client that requires access to these IP Services. To explicitly configure a Route for the Network that encompasses the complete subnet range of 192.168.0.0/28, enable Route Configuration in the settings. Once a Route is created, CloudConnexa will push 192.168.0.0/28 as a route for the TUN VPN interface to a connected OpenVPN client instead of 192.168.0.10/32 and 192.168.0.12/32.
To enable Routes Configuration, follow the steps below:
Navigate to Settings > WPC.
Click Edit, which is located in the top right corner.
Expand the Advanced Configuration section.
Toggle the Enable switch in the Routes Configuration section.
Click Update.
Check that the details shown in the confirmation dialog box are correct, and click Confirm.
