VPN connection required
View our "Establish a VPN connection"-guide for details.This guide will help you to remotely connect to your machine. You'll need to make sure that your device is configured correctly:
Once it's configured correctly, you can effectively connect to it:
Configure your machine
You need to configure the machine's IP address and subnet mask correctly, and in some situations also its default gateway.
The IP address needs to share the IP range of your CloudVPN router but cannot match their IP address. The IP range could for example be "192.168.140", meaning the last figure of the IP address can vary anywhere from 1 to 254 as long as it's different from the CloudVPN router and all other connected devices. The subnet mask needs to be the same as the CloudVPN router, which is usually 255.255.255.0. If Source NAT is turned off on the CloudVPN router the default gateway of your machine should be set to the LAN IP address of the CloudVPN router.
Source NAT
Source NAT is on by default in the CloudVPN router, but can be turned off. Check whether it's turned on or off in the CloudVPN Portal Fleet Manager, by selecting your device, and viewing its LAN network settings.The exact configuration steps may vary per manufacturer. Please consult our connection guides in the left menu. If your manufacturer is not listed, please contact the manufacturer for instructions.
Remotely connect to your machine
You have configured your machine correctly and have established a VPN connection to your device (CloudVPN router / CloudVPN Agent). This means you can now connect to your machine using your development or other software.
The exact steps vary greatly per manufacturer and software program, but the following applies to nearly all situations:
- Open your software program of choice and attempt to connect to your machine in the same way as you would if you would be on-site. You may have to select the TAP network adapter instead of your regular network adapter.
If the above doesn't work, please consult our connection guides in the left menu. If your manufacturer is not listed, please contact the manufacturer for instructions.
Connected
You are now remotely connected to your machine!
