Tenants who do not have an OpenVPN license and want to use Kron PAM’s secure connection can use its Built-in VPN option (either outbound or inbound).  

The outbound connection refers to the path that begins from Kron PAM and ends at the Connector. If the outbound connection option is selected, the connector located at the customer site must be accessed through a UDP port and utilizing the external IP address.

The Inbound Built-in VPN option refers to the connection established from the remote connector node to Kron PAM.

Connector installation packages are uploaded to Kron PAM’s Filerepo. The Kron support team provides the required information to access installation files.  Please refer to the Tenant Connector Reference Guide.

- After the node is added on GUI, a configuration file is created.
- The user can download the tunnel configuration file. The tunnel creation script on the connector node (connector\_node\_setup.sh) gets tunnel\_setup.txt file as an input and creates tunnel between connector and Kron PAM.
