How can I Configure my Network for High Availability?

The service supports multiple Network Connectors and complex routing rules with link-cost/metrics that allow high availability scenarios to be supported. Below are some guidelines for the setup. For further details contact support.

You can achieve high availability in your VPN network by installing 2 or more network connectors in different hosts of your network.

Once you have installed them you can have either load-balanced or primary-secondary (failover) scenario. The only difference is the metric (i.e. link cost) associated with the corresponding routes:

  • For load balancing the metric for all routes, each network connector must have the same value
  • For failover, you’ll have to set up a lower value for your primary network connector and a higher value for the other(s).

You can modify the metric in the routing table available in the advance network settings menu.

Note: Please be aware that high availability requires an appropriate network topology and routing configuration also in your LAN. If you don’t know how to do this, please contact your IT administrator.
