An SSL VPN gateway works as the egress of an SSL VPN connection on the VPC side. It helps establish secure and reliable encrypted network communication between Tencent Cloud VPC and mobile clients.
Prerequisites
Operation Steps
1. Log in to the VPC console.
2. Click VPN Connections > VPN Gateway in the left directory to enter the admin page.
3. On the VPN Gateway management page, click New.
4. On the pop-up VPN Gateway Purchase page, configure the following gateway parameters.
Parameter name | Parameter Description |
Billing Mode | The SSL VPN currently only supports traffic-based billing. |
Region | Display the region of the VPN gateway. |
Availability Zone | Select the Availability Zone where the current gateway is located. |
Protocol Type | IPSec and SSL protocols are supported. |
Network Type | This parameter specifies whether you create a CCN-based VPN/VPN gateway or a VPC-based VPN/VPN gateway. If you want to use a VPN connection to enable interconnection with multiple VPCs or other Direct Connect networks, create a CCN-based VPN. Note: You cannot associate the CCN-based VPN gateway with a CCN instance during its creation. You can associate a created VPN gateway to a CCN instance in the gateway details page. If you create a policy-based VPN tunnel, you also need to enable the route published to the CCN in the IDC IP range of the VPN gateway. If you want to communicate with a single VPC by using a VPN connection, create a VPC-based VPN. |
Virtual Private Cloud | Select the specific VPC to which the VPN gateway will be associated if the associated network is a VPC. For CCN instances, the gateway needs to be bound on the details page after creation. For more details, see Associating a CCN Instance. |
Bandwidth Cap | Set a reasonable bandwidth cap for the VPN gateway according to the actual application scenarios. |
Number of SSL Connections | Selecting "SSL" for Protocol Type requires configuration of this item. The number of SSL connections supported is related to the gateway. For more details, see Usage Restrictions. |
Gateway Name | Enter the VPN gateway name (up to 60 characters). |
Tag | Tags mark VPN gateway resources so that these resources can be queried and managed efficiently. Tag is not a required configuration. You can decide whether to configure it according to your demand. |
5. After completing the gateway parameter settings, click Purchase Now.
