How to set up the Smart Remote Access feature

Smart remote access helps users create a virtual LAN (Local Area Network) in order to access remote devices on the internal network. It uses the Internet to create a secure connection between devices to allow server and system access, remote device access (point to point), file sharing, RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), and more.

Feature requirements: In order to activate Smart remote access, a private gateway with a dedicated server is needed.

To enable this feature, open NordLayer Control Panel and navigate to Settings - Security configurations. Under Smart Remote Access click Add gateways.

In this interface, choose a Virtual Private Gateway and click on Enable.

Once the feature is enabled for your Virtual Private Gateway – a local network (LAN) will be created between all the devices connected to the same private gateway. In case members need to collaborate on projects with colleagues or simply share some files, they can take a look at our sharing through Smart remote access article.
