Maintenance and updates
Under the menu item Services > Maintenance and updates, the access procedure to the update server is set in order to be able to carry out remote maintenance work or install updates for TightGate-Pro. You can also configure here to which address and via which e-mail server e-mail notifications about the system status are sent.
Note: The relevant settings apply to all nodes in computer networks (cluster systems), with the exception of the submenu option Redirected remote port. This setting is made individually for each node so that individual nodes can be accessed at the same time via remote maintenance.
These setting options are available for remote maintenance and update access:
| Menu item | Description | Recommended value |
|---|---|---|
| Connection method(*) | Selection of the connection method for how TightGate-Pro can obtain updates from the update servers of m-privacy GmbH . Depending on availability in the network, the appropriate connection method can be selected: SSH-443 If TightGate-Pro has unrestricted access to the Internet on port 443 and is also authorised to use the SSH protocol via the port, this value should be used. SSH outgoing If TightGate-Pro can establish outgoing SSH connections via port 22, this value should be used. The update connection can be restricted here at the firewall to the IP address 85.214.123.128. HTTP Proxy SSL HTTP Proxy Connect If TightGate-Pro accesses the Internet via a proxy, one of the proxy methods should be used.
