Use Private Network

[Optional] This option enables you to use a Virtual Private Network on the cloud for launching and running Helper VMs, thus adding another layer of security for your transferred data.

Important! To use this option, you must already have a private network on AWS.

Your Coordinator host should be connected to the private network as follows:

• If your Coordinator is not on the cloud, the Coordinator host must be connected to the cloud private network via VPN.

• If your Coordinator is on the cloud, its host must have access to the selected subnet. 

Once you enable the Use Private Network option, in addition to the other parameters described above, you need to set the following:

• VPC – select the VPC in which the VMs for acceleration will be launched. 

• Subnet – select or create a subnet in the selected VPC. To create a new subnet, select from the drop-down list the Create new subnet option.
