Interface & IP Management

The Sites → Details → Networks tab introduces a redesigned and centralized interface management system for Cloud Gateways. This update replaces fragmented configurations from previous versions with a unified, policy-driven model that simplifies control, improves visibility, and reduces the risk of misconfiguration.

🆕 What’s New in Interface Management

  • Unified Interface View: View all physical, tunnel, and virtual interfaces from a single table with real-time metadata like MTU, IP mode, and operational state.
  • Centralized IP Reservations: Static IP assignments are now handled directly under the DHCP tab of each tunnel interface—eliminating per-device configuration and reducing errors.
  • Fully Configurable Tunnel Interfaces: OpenVPN and WireGuard tunnels can be edited in full, including ports, protocols, DNS settings, and inspection preferences.
  • System-Level Attributes Made Visible: You can now inspect MTU values, MAC addresses, and access controls that were previously buried or unavailable.

Default Interfaces

Each Cloud Gateway includes three core interfaces by default:

  • port0 → Primary physical WAN uplink
  • tun0 → OpenVPN tunnel
  • wg0 → WireGuard tunnel

Networks Table

he table provides a detailed overview of each interface:

ColumnDescription
NameSystem-assigned interface name
TypeInterface type (e.g., Physical, Tunnel)
RoleInterface function, such as WAN or LAN
IP / NetworkAssigned IP address and subnet
StatusCurrent operational status
Bound InterfacesPhysical link associated with tunnels
Addressing ModeStatic or DHCP
DescriptionShort explanation of the interface’s purpose

The ••• menu on each row allows:

  • View — For port0 (WAN)
  • Edit — For tunnel interfaces (tun0, wg0)

🆕 Static IP assignment now occurs within the DHCP tab of each tunnel interface—streamlining workflows and eliminating fragmented logic.


port0 – Physical Interface

The WAN interface configuration is read-only and provides full metadata visibility.

1. Configuration

FieldDescription
DescriptionDefault system label
StatusOperational state
Interface TypePhysical
RoleWAN
MTUMaximum packet size
Address AssignmentDHCP
MAC AddressSystem-assigned hardware address
Access RestrictionToggle ping/web access

🆕 Previously hidden details like MTU and MAC address are now visible to improve diagnostics and audit readiness.

🚫 The DHCP tab is disabled for WAN interfaces, as they don’t provide DHCP services.


Tunnel Interfaces — tun0, wg0

Tunnel interfaces connect remote users or networks securely. Version 1.30.0 replaces per-device IP assignments with centralized management.

 

1. Configuration

FieldDescription
DescriptionA short information of the interface
Interface TypeTunnel
Tunnel TypeOpenVPN or WireGuard
MTUMaximum packet size
InterfaceParent physical interface
Address AssignmentStatic
IP Address / NetmaskSubnet allocated for tunnel clients
Protocol / PortTunnel protocol and listening port
Cipher / Compression (OpenVPN only)Encryption tuning
SSL InspectionToggle HTTPS inspection
Application FilterToggle app-level visibility
Enable DNSUse this interface’s DNS
Access RestrictionICMP/HTTP control

2. DHCP 🆕

This tab allows you to manage tunnel-level DNS and Static IP Reservations.

DNS Configuration:

FieldDescription
Domain Name ServersDNS servers offered to tunnel clients
Search DomainsAuto-suffix domains for resolution

IP Reservation:

FieldDescription
TypeReservation type: Device
Device NameSelect from known clients
IP AddressReserved IP inside tunnel subnet

🆕 This method ensures accuracy, avoids IP conflicts, and simplifies audits—replacing manual per-device entries from previous versions.
