Making Connections
Making ConnectionsI need a simple way for users to adjust and specify the PoP they are connecting to.
Staying InvolvedThe client normally determines the closest (in terms of latency) PoP to connect to. Once they are connected, can you not use Network Rules to determine where the user traffic egresses from? We use a lot of NAT egress rules, and also ROUTE rules and BACKHAUL rules.
For example, my laptop could connect to a PoP in Ireland, but all the internet traffic could egress via China if you wanted.
Making ConnectionsI understand how the client works and selects the PoP so no worries there. I know network rules can be used to steer traffic and NAT and backhaul rules etc. These arent solutions for what I need to do.
There are scenarios where choosing a manual PoP on the client is relevant and I have one in my case. The client tunnel needs to stretch outside of China where the remote user resides, otherwise it is still subject to the GFW of China, steering this traffic at the PoP to another egress point at another countries PoP is still subject to the GFWoC, I need to stretch the users tunnel to terminate outside of China.
Manually asking users to disconnect and enter a PoP IP is not realistic ask.
