Creating a VPN Network

Once you have a Nodal Agent connected to your tenant, you can now define a VPN Network. If you don’t have a Nodal Agent yet, you should first deploy one.

1. Create Network Wizard

Navigate to Resources->Networks and click Create. This will start the Create Network Wizard. Click Get Started.

You should already see your Nodal Agent in the list below, but this page will continually poll for any new agents that may connect in the meantime.

If you have a single agent, this will already be selected. If you have multiple agents, select the one you want to associate with this network, then click Next.

2. Network Setup

Give the new network a name and set a network address range for your VPN clients. You can choose to either enter a CIDR range, or a start and end IP address.

Click Next.

3. External Access

The wizard should now in most cases auto detect your external IP address, which will be used by your clients to connect in to your network. If this is incorrect, enter the correct external address here.

Regarding the external port, accepting the default 51820 is usually okay, but if you have more than one network configured for a node, this number should increment automatically. Click Next to continue.

4.Testing

One of the most common setup issues with the VPN is not having the UDP port forwarded to your Nodal Agent. Therefore this next step performs a test to ensure that packets reach your agent.
