This document describes how to connect to a VPC over an SSL VPN connection on a Windows, macOS, or Linux client.
Background
This document takes the scenario below as an example to describe how to connect to a VPC over an SSL VPN connection on a Windows, macOS, or Linux client.
Configuration
The process of connecting to a VPC over an SSL VPN connection on the client is as follows:
2. Select VPN Connections > SSL VPN Server on the left sidebar to enter the admin page.
Note:
A VPN gateway can be associated with only one SSL VPN server. For more information, see Use Limits.
3. Click +New.
4. In the Create an SSL VPN server pop-up window, configure the following parameters.
Parameter
Configuration
Name
Enter the SSL VPN server name (up to 60 characters).
Region
Display the region of the SSL VPN server.
VPN gateway
Select an existing VPN gateway.
Server IP range
Tencent Cloud IP ranges accessed by mobile clients.
Client IP Range
Enter the IP range that is assigned to the mobile client for communication. The IP range must not conflict with the VPC CIDR block of Tencent or your local IP range.
Protocol
Transmission protocol of the server.
Port
Enter the SSL VPN server port used for data forwarding.
Verification algorithm
Supported authentication algorithms: SHA1 and MD5.
Encryption algorithm
Supported encryption algorithms: AES-128-CBC, AES-192-CBC, and AES-256-CBC.
2. Click Route Tables on the left sidebar to enter the admin page.
3. In the list, click the ID of the target route table to enter its details page. You can also create a route table as instructed in Creating Custom Route Tables.
4. Click + New routing policies. In the pop-up window, configure the routing policy.
After establishing the SSL VPN connection between Tencent Cloud and the client, you can use ping to test the connection.
For example, you can use the CVM in the VPC to ping an IP address in the client IP range. If the ping is successful, the VPC and the client can communicate with each other.
