Support VPN

Starting with IP Fabric 1.0.3, you can establish remote SSL VPN to IP Fabric’s DC. Support VPN uses OpenVPN.

Network requirements

Support VPN requires access to remote.ipfabric.io remote port 443/tcp. The IP Fabric appliance must be also configured with a functional DNS server.

Connection through proxy servers should work, but it is not guaranteed.
