How to Configure Generic Tunnels

  • Last updated on

A generic tunnel is made up of multiple SSL tunnels that forward the TCP traffic of the remote service. The local port used by the SSL tunnel can be configured statically or chosen by the SSL VPN service when the SSL tunnel is enabled. Make sure that you do not have any local services listening on the ports assigned to the SSL tunnels. You can only tunnel TCP connections.

Before You Begin

Create a Generic Tunnel

  1. Go to CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Box > Virtual Servers > your virtual server > Assigned Services > VPN > SSL VPN.
  2. Click Lock.
  3. In the left menu, click Generic Tunnels.
  4. Click + to add a Generic Tunnel. The Generic Tunnels window opens.
