The Network Connections panel, located at Control Panel > Network Connections in the WinGate Management console, lists all of the network connections that have been discovered by WinGate on the server where it is installed.
WinGate will automatically update any network interface as it becomes available in the operating system and list it on the Network Connections panel. General details are provided so you can see at a glance what interfaces WinGate has discovered.
The Network Connections panel will also display the Usage classification it has given to the interface. This classification plays an important role in the way that WinGate will treat any communication to and from this interface during its operation.
