2.5 Setting Up a Tunnel

The tunnel option lets you create one or more services for the specific purpose of tunneling non-
HTTP traffic through the Access Gateway to a Web server. To do this, the non-HTTP traffic must
use a different IP address and port combination than the HTTP traffic.
An Access Gateway usually processes HTTP requests in order to fill them. However, it is not
unusual that some of the traffic coming through the gateway is not HTTP-based. Web servers
sometimes handle Telnet, FTP, chat, or other kinds of traffic without attempting to process it. If your
Web servers are handling this type of traffic, you should set up a tunnel for it.
Reverse proxies and tunnels cannot share the same IP address and port combination. You can either
configure a reverse proxy for an IP address and port or a tunnel for that IP address and port.
To set up a tunnel:
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit > Tunneling.
