Set IP Address for Incoming Connections

The IP Address tab is used to set IP address options for incoming client connections.

RAS Secure Client Gateway recognizes both IPv4 and IPv6. By default, IPv4 is enabled. If a gateway has IPv6 and IPv4 configured, you can specify whether clients should be connecting using IPv4, IPv6, or both. To do so, in the Use IP version drop-down list:

1. Select the IP version to use and then specify the corresponding properties for the selected version (or both if you selected IPv4 and IPv6).
2. Click the Resolve button to resolve the IP addresses of the RAS Secure Client Gateway depending on the IP version selected.

The Bind to the following IPv4/IPv6 fields are used to specify one or more IP addresses on which the RAS Secure Client Gateway should listen for incoming connections. To specify multiple IP addresses, separate them with a semicolon.

The Optimize connection for the following IPv4/ IPv6 fields can be used when the connection between the gateway and the Parallels Client has a high latency (such as the Internet). This option will optimize traffic for better experience on the Parallels Client side. You can select a specific address, all available addresses, or none to disable this option. What this option will do is delay the internal socket to match the performance of the external socket. If the internal network is fast and the external is slow, RDP detects the fast internal socket and sends a lot of data. The problem is that this data cannot be sent so fast from the Gateway to the Client, thus ending up with a bad user experience. Enabling this option will optimize the data exchange.
