¶ Connections
Connections provide remote access to services running on gateway host networks through the Weble Cloud. Administrators can create connections for various protocols and assign them to users via their dashboard.
¶ Connection types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| FTP | File transfer access to a remote FTP/SFTP server on the host network. |
| RDP | Remote Desktop access to a Windows machine on the host network. |
| HTTP/HTTPS | Web proxy access to a remote web server or interface on the host network. |
| Tunnel | Network tunnel (Switch or Tunnel mode) via Tinc VPN for direct network access. |
| IKEv2 VPN | IKEv2 VPN configuration downloadable for native OS VPN clients. |
| L2TP VPN | L2TP VPN configuration for native OS VPN clients. |
| PPTP | PPTP VPN configuration (legacy, less secure). |
¶ Dashboard connections
Each user has a personal dashboard displaying the connections they have been granted access to.
¶ Accessing your dashboard
- Log in to the Weble Cloud.
- Click on Dashboard in the left panel.
¶ Host connections
¶ Creating a host connection
There are several ways to create connections. The first method is through the Host Management page:
- Navigate to the Host management page.
- Click on Connections in the host actions menu.
- Configure the connection parameters.
For protocol-specific configuration details, refer to: FTP, RDP, HTTP, Tunnel.
¶ Assigning connections to users
By default, users do not have access to any connection unless they have full access to the host. To grant access, you need to link the connection to the user's dashboard.
¶ Linking a connection to a user
- Go to Users management.
- Right-click on the user and select Edit dashboards.
- A panel opens showing available connections for this user.
- Search for the connection you want to assign.
- Drag and drop the connection onto the user's dashboard table.
The user will now see this connection on their dashboard.
¶ Linking a connection to a group
A connection can be associated with a group. Once linked, all users in the group will have access to the connection through their dashboards.
¶ Native connection access
When the native connection option is enabled on a connection, users can use their operating system's built-in client to connect to the service directly.
For example, with an RDP connection and native access enabled, users can connect using the Windows Remote Desktop client directly from the Weble Connect application.
