Set Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) for WPC⁠

Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) is disabled by default. When SNAT is enabled, the source IP address of all inbound traffic from the WPC to your connected clients will be set to the IP address of the connected Region.

CloudConnexa performs SNAT, when enabled, such that when traffic reaches a destination Connector or device, it will have the source IP address from the CloudConnexa WPC Subnet range instead of the actual IP address of the source endpoint. This is helpful because it eliminates the need to configure backward routing from destination resources for remote access.

When SNAT is off, the IP address of the source device is available instead of the IP address of the connected CloudConnexa Region. This might be preferred for some applications like VoIP.

To set SNAT, follow the steps below:

1. Sign in to your WPC's Administration portal by entering your Cloud ID in a web browser (for example, company_name.openvpn.com).

2. Navigate to Settings > WPC.

3. Click Edit, which is located in the top right corner.

4. Toggle the SNAT switch.

5. Click Update.

6. Check that the details shown in the confirmation dialog box are correct, and click Confirm.
