Cloud-only mode

The cloud-only mode does not require a VPN appliance deployment on the local site. It implies that you have two independent networks: one on the local site, another on the cloud site. Routing is performed with the router on the cloud site.

How routing works

In case the cloud-only mode is established, routing is performed with the router on the cloud site so that servers from different cloud networks can communicate with each other.

VPN gateway standby mode

The VPN gateway automatically switches to standby when it is not in use. While the VPN gateway is in standby, point-to-site VPN connections and Internet access are unavailable.

The VPN gateway automatically becomes active when a test failover, a production failover, or another Disaster Recovery operation is initiated, and returns to standby afterward. You can also activate the VPN gateway temporarily at any time when you need it.

The existing VPN gateway configuration is preserved and restored automatically when the VPN gateway is activated again.
