IP Address Pool
Overview
App Tunnel IP Address Pool
When users access a published application through the HySecure Gateway, an IP Address Pool assigns them a unique IP address to avoid conflicts. This pool is configured for users in authorized User Groups by the Authorization Server in a HySecure Domain.
Users accessing the same application can be assigned different virtual IP addresses. Static IP addresses can be assigned from a pool to ensure consistent IP assignment across different login sessions.
Turbo Tunnel IP Address Pool
Turbo Tunnel is a new L3 tunneling mechanism that routes IP traffic from end-users to the corporate network using a UDP-based tunnel. It provides improved support for real-time applications like VOIP and graphics-heavy apps over VDI and better performance for VDI users.
Turbo tunnel can be activated for specific applications and users requiring reverse connections, which originate from the server side toward end users.
