Redirect traffic with your router's NATAdvanced
Advanced: a NAT rule on your router swaps a machine's real address for its twin address, so traffic goes through Access Gate. Best-effort support.
Redirect traffic on your switchesAdvanced
Advanced: for two machines on the same subnet, switch settings send each one's traffic to Access Gate instead of the other. Best-effort support.
Choose how to connect your machinesSimple
Three ways to send your machines' traffic through Access Gate: one rule on your router (recommended), one machine at a time, or rules outside the gate.
Protect a machine you reach by its addressSimple
Change the address one machine talks to, from the real address to its twin address. Its traffic then goes through Access Gate. Nothing else changes.
Protect a machine you reach by its nameSimple
Point a machine's name at its twin address: one DNS forwarder hands a subdomain to Access Gate, and traffic to that name goes through the gate.
Give your machines easy namesSimple
Give each machine a name in Access Gate, like plc-line-1, that leads to its twin address. People reach it by name, and you change an address in one place.
Protect a whole subnet with one router ruleSimple
The recommended way: one rule on your router sends everything from your machine subnet through Access Gate. Remove the rule to undo it.
