Update an Application for Networks or Hosts
Applications are defined as FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Names) including protocols, and/or ports. Follow the steps below to update an Application for Networks or Hosts:
- Sign in to the OpenVPN Cloud administration portal at https://cloud.openvpn.com.
- Access Networks or Hosts and click the edit icon (pencil) of the entity that you want to edit.
- Click the Applications tab.
- Click the Add Application button.
- Enter an Application Name.
- Specify a Domain.
- For Networks (Optional) toggle Allow Embedded IP to ON. Note: Embedded IP enables implicit domain resolution. This is useful for IoT / IIoT devices which can allow remote SSH access. You can use the private IP address of the device and the Network Application Domain Name to create a hostname without configuring a DNS record. For example SSH@<private ip address>.Network Application Domain Name.
- Select the Application Type(s) (protocols and/or ports).
- (Optional) Enter a Description.
- Click Add.
Alternatively, you may also update an Application for a Network or Host by:
