The status page of TightGate-Pro
TightGate-Pro has an internal status page that can be called up via the browser of a logged-in VNC user. It provides basic information about the running system and the most important system services without the need to call up the administration menus. The system statuses are signalled by displaying values and an eye-catching red/green marking.
The status page can be called up in the browser using http://localhost in the browser.
Access to the status page is usually provided with access protection. The access data is as follows:

Caution

The status page also provides information about the correct functioning of the server-side virus scanner, if one is installed. In this case, the update time of the malware definition files (virus signatures) is also displayed. If the signatures are older than three days, the status display changes to red. In this case, there could be a configuration error or the update server in question is not available.
