Connectivity Methods

Agents can be configured to connect to the cloud in one of the following ways:

  • Direct Connection: Each agent connects to the cloud directly over the internet, suitable for small environments without a local gateway.
  • Proxy Connection: Each agent connects to the cloud using a proxy. The recommended proxy is the Squid proxy server embedded in the gateway. This setup is ideal for large environments, avoiding the need for outbound access for each agent.
