Downloading the client

Open a session (Manual or Automation) on a device.

Click the "Network Tunnel" Button.

In the dialog that opens, follow the "Download" link.  The client executable will be downloaded to your machine.

Operating the Client

Start the client in a shell (on Mac or Linux) or CMD window (on Windows), with --url and --access-key flags indicating which cloud and which user/project are connecting.

For your convenience, the full command line (using your current credentials on the Cloud you connected to) is displayed in the dialog, and you can simply copy/paste it into your terminal.

Running on macOS and Linux

When running on macOS and Linux, please note:

  • Before the first run, make sure the downloaded file is executable (eg, run chmod +x network-tunnel)

A connected client is necessary but not sufficient for a tunnel to actually be created. A session can be tunneled when the device is on a properly configured Agent with a connected Tunneling Server.

For as long as your session is tunneled, the UI will display a red dot on Tools icon and Tunneling icon will be set to active(Green colored icon):
