      How to set up the Cloud LAN (Smart Remote Access) feature

      • 1 Minute to read
        Article summary

        The Cloud LAN (Smart Remote Access) network connector enables administrators to create a virtual LAN connecting user devices to establish remote device-to-device connectivity. It provides a secure method of remote device access, ideal for secure file sharing, remote control, or scenarios where remote devices are required for work-related purposes. Each connection is secured through a Virtual Private Gateway featuring quantum-safe encryption, ensuring maximum security of data in transit.

        1. Enabling Cloud LAN in Control Panel

        Note: In order to configure this feature, make sure you have Virtual Private Gateway created.

        1. Log into the Control Panel as an administrator, navigate to the main menu on the right, and click Settings → Security Configurations.

        2. Under the Security Configurations page, find the Cloud LAN section and click the "Add Gateways" button.

        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.

        2. Enabling Cloud LAN (Smart Remote Access) on members device

        Once you have enabled Cloud LAN (Smart Remote Access) via the Administrator's Control Panel and added your gateways, the next step is to configure each device you wish to remotely access by assigning it a device name within the NordLayer application.

        To complete this setup, please follow the instructions specific to the operating system used by each device—Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.

        Detailed instructions for each operating system can be found in the following article: "Setting up the device name for Cloud LAN".
