Customise Routes

The purpose of the Customise Routes screen is used to display all relevant routes available to be used by your VPN, depending on how you have set the Local Participation for the WinGate VPN Node machine.

The Customise Routes button becomes available when the Local machine or Local network is selected from the General tab of the Host VPN properties of a hosted VPN, or from the Join VPN properties of a particular VPN the WinGate Node machine has been configured to join.

The Customise Routes screen customises the routing information for the particular Node that it is being configured for.

View by:

  • View all routes

    This displays all routes available to be used on your VPN.

  • View routes that will exported when Local Machine Only is selected.

    This displays the routes available when the only the VPN Master Node is set to participate in the VPN.

  • View routes that will be exported when Local Network is selected

    This will display potentially more routes than for Local Machine Only because it will include the necessary routes to allow machines networked to the primary VPN machine to use the VPN.

Detailed route information

Destination

This is the IP address or DNS name of the machine you’re trying to connect to through the VPN or locally.

Mask

This denotes the subnet the route is on.

Status

This will either be Published , Not Publishable or Not Published.

  • Published

    A route that has a status of Published will be used by the WinGate VPN.

  • Not published

    A route that has a status of Not published can potentially be used by the WinGate VPN, but is not normally published by the local participation mode you have selected. You have the option of forcing this route to be published. Normally you will not need to publish any of these routes unless you have a specific configuration that demands it.

  • Not publishable

    A route that has a status of Not publishable cannot be used by the WinGate VPN as core networking relies on it.
